CONAB’s latest report shows Brazil’s 2025/26 soybean harvest is nearly complete at 99.7% as of May 29—up from 99.0% the prior week, slightly below last year’s 99.8%, but above the five-year average of 98.8%. Earlier, on May 14, CONAB raised its production forecast to a record 180.13 million metric tons (+5.0% YoY), driven by expanded planted area (48.72 million ha, +2.9% YoY) and higher yield (3,698 kg/ha, +2.1% YoY). The update reflects robust output growth despite near-final harvest progress.

Brazil’s National Supply Company (CONAB) released its weekly crop progress report on Monday, stating that the country’s 2025/26 soybean harvest stood at 99.7% complete as of May 29. The figure marks an improvement from the prior week’s 99.0%, a slight drop from the 99.8% recorded in the same period a year earlier, and sits above the five-year average of 98.8%.
