Brazil has harvested 121.4 million of the anticipated 2018-19 crop, compared with 6% at this stage last year, according to analytic firm AgRural. It said the harvest may have been even larger if rain didn't hit Mato Grosso, the country's largest grain-producing state, where 40% of the crop has already been harvested. Parana, the country's second largest producing state, has so far completed 25% of its harvest. AgRural estimated Brazil's total soyabean crop at 116.9 million metric tonnes (mt), revised down from its initial almost one-fifth mt following a dry spell across several regions.
