Brazilian soybean farmers have planted 23% of the estimated 2020/2021 crop through Thursday of last week, as rains permitted sowing to progress after a drought that delayed work earlier in the season, agribusiness consultancy AgRural said on Monday. According to calculations by AgRural, about 5.6 million hectares (13.8 million acres) were planted with Brazil's most prized agricultural export in the space of seven days.
