THE bean Planting is progressing in different regions of Rio Grande do Sul, but the cold weather has slowed the pace of plant development. According to data released by Emater/RS-Ascar in the Conjunctural Report this Thursday (17), the sowing of the first crop reached 40% of the projected area in Ijuí, while other regions are close to completing planting.
In the Ijuí administrative region, planting has reached 40% out of the 883 hectares projected for the first bean crop. According to data released by Emater/RS-Ascar, plant development is slow due to low temperatures.
In the Pelotas region, the planting of the first crops continues in protected areas without risk of frost. This strategy allows for progress in establishing the crop despite the temperature conditions recorded during this period.
In Soledade, in the lower Vale do Rio Pardo area, sowing is in its final phase. Meanwhile, in the Centro-Serra and Alto da Serra do Botucaraí regions, the fields are prepared for the start of planting.
Bean prices vary across the regions monitored by Emater/RS-Ascar. In Ijuí, the average price recorded was R$ 195 per 60-kilogram sack.
In the Soledade region, the reported price was R$ 150 per 60-kilogram sack. According to data released by Emater/RS-Ascar, the prices reflect the scenario observed in different producing regions as planting progresses.
Cold weather remains a major factor to consider for the early development of crops. In areas where sowing is still underway, producers continue to monitor temperature conditions and the risk of frost to determine the appropriate time for planting.
