The figures show a record campaign regarding maize, that will reach 55 million tonnes, and a strong recovery of soybean, that will reach 55.9 million tonnes. The total harvest in the 2018-2019 campaign would be close to 145 million tonnes.
The 2018-2019 campaign also has both the maximum historic wheat harvest, with 19,4 million tonnes (5.2% higher than in the 2017-2018 campaign) and maize harvest, with 55 million tonnes (26.5% higher than in the previous campaign).
