A colheita de milho em Mato Grosso na safra 2025/26 atingiu 11,29% da área cultivada, avanço de 5,44 pontos percentuais na ⁠semana, e segue adiantada em relação ao mesmo período ⁠do ano passado, ⁠quando somava 7,20%, informou ‌o Instituto Mato-grossense ⁠de Economia Agropecuária (Imea).

Apesar do ritmo mais acelerado na comparação ‌anual, os ⁠trabalhos ‌permanecem abaixo da média histórica para a época, ⁠de 13,35%, ⁠segundo o instituto.

O avanço semanal, ‌contudo, indica intensificação das atividades no campo no maior produtor brasileiro do cereal.

A ‌safra de milho de Mato Grosso em 2025/26 ⁠está estimada em 53,35 milhões de toneladas, 3,76% abaixo do recorde registrado no ciclo passado, informou o Imea no início do mês.
