Second-crop cotton | The delay in planting soy-
bean due to the delay of rains and consequently
of the harvest affected the ideal window for plant-
ing second-crop cotton. To optimize the crop's
planting potential, we reduced the planted area
for second-crop cotton, replacing it with second-
crop corn, which has a longer planting window.
This reduced the production potential, leading to
a yield estimate of 1,638 kg/ha, 6.3% lower than
estimate for the previous crop year.
Corn | Regarding the first estimate of productiv-
ity, announced in November, there was a small re-
duction in the estimate for the second-crop corn,
from 7,622kg/ha to 7,567kg/ha, due to the
lengthening of the planting period.
Despite the delay due rain, our expectation is to de-
liver the disclosed yield for all crops
