Paraguay Soybeans: High Temperatures and Drought Damage First-Crop Yield

Paraguay soybean production for marketing year (MY) 2021/22 is estimated at 4.2 million metric
tons, down 21 percent from last month and 58 percent from last year. Harvested area is estimated
at 3.3 million hectares, up 18 percent from last month and 5 percent from last year. Yield is
estimated at 1.27 tons per hectare, down 33 percent from last month and 60 percent from last year.
Area changes are supported by recent satellite imagery analysis.

Soybean yield expectations have continued to decrease due to three months (December through
February) of hot and dry conditions. The southern and central planting regions of the country were
the most affected, as shown by the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) Drought Severity map.
Recent March rains, although beneficial, will fail to recover yields from early yield declines of
first-crop soybeans. However, the second-crop soybeans, perhaps 20 to 30 percent of the total crop
this season, may have average yields due to recent rains in March and late plantings of these
soybeans.

Approved by the World Agricultural Outlook Board

 Most of the early planted soybeans are now being harvested. Farmers are harvesting fields which
had population levels of plants with enough production for some gross return to the farmer. (For
more information, please contact [Link]@[Link].)

Brazil Soybeans: Production Lowered Further

Brazil soybean production for marketing year (MY) 2021/22 is estimated at 125.0 million metric
tons (mmt), down 2.0 mmt (2 percent) from last month, and lower by 14.5 mmt (10 percent) from
last season’s record crop. Harvested area is estimated at a record 40.8 million hectares (mha), up
0.2 mha (<1 percent) from last month and up 1.6 mha (4 percent) from last season. Yield is
estimated at 3.06 tons per hectare (t/ha), 2 percent below last month and 14 percent lower than last
season.

Foreign Agricultural Service/USDA 2 April 2022

Global Market Analysis
 Harvest started in January for soybeans planted in mid-September and approximately 81 percent
of the national crop was harvested by the first week of April per Companhia Nacional de
Abastecimento (CONAB, an agency in the Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture). Several center-west
states completed harvest with record yields reported for Mato Grosso (~39 mmt) and Goiás (~ 16
mmt) by state and national agencies. In contrast, states in the south report depressed yields with
almost 50 percent loss of production for Paraná per SEAB-DERAL (Secretaria de Estado da
Agricultura e do Abastecimento Departamento de Economia Rural). In Rio Grande do Sul, the
satellite-derived Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) displays an uptick in March,
however, only about a quarter of the crop remained in flowering by early March. Recent rains will
benefit the later planted and longer-cycle crop. Harvest stands at 19 percent in Rio Grande do Sul
and yields for the remaining crop are expected to improve. In the northeast, harvest is over 75
percent complete with above average yields expected. (For more information, please contact

 Malaysia Palm Oil: Production Estimate Increases on Anticipated Return of Workers to Pre-
Pandemic Levels

USDA estimates Malaysia palm oil production for marketing year (MY) 2021/22 at 19.0 million
metric tons, up 2 percent from last month and 6 percent from last year. Harvested area remains
unchanged from last month at 5.45 million hectares but is up 1 percent from last year. Yield is
estimated at 3.49 tons per hectare, up 2 percent from last month and 5 percent from last year.

Since MY 2020/21, Malaysia palm oil output has been negatively impacted by COVID-19 and its
strain on the palm oil sector workforce. As a measure to curb the spread of COVID-19, the
government of Malaysia closed its borders, which essentially eliminated the main source of skilled
workers that harvest Malaysian palm oil. Migrant workers, mainly from Indonesia, comprise 80
percent of Malaysia’s workforce. Even with ideal weather conditions, palm oil harvest operations
have failed to keep up with demand due to the workforce shortage. According to the Malaysian
Palm Oil Board, monthly crude palm oil output has continued to trend below the 5-year average
and latest reports indicate output for the month of February is down 13 percent from the 5-year
average. With the drastic decline of COVID-19 cases, as compared to last year, the Malaysian
government is slated to reopen its boarders and anticipates the return of migrant workers to pre-
pandemic levels. The return of the migrant workforce will benefit palm oil harvest operations. (For

 Romania Corn: Bumper Crop Harvested

Corn production in Romania for marketing year (MY) 2021/22 is estimated at 13.7 million tons
(mmt), up 0.3 mmt or 2 percent from last month, and 27 percent above MY 2020/21’s poor crop
of 10.8 mmt. Production is 12 percent above the 5-year average of 12.2 mmt. Area is estimated
similar to last month and last year at 2.6 million hectares. Yield is estimated at 5.32 tons per
hectare, up 4 percent from last month, 26 percent above last year, and 10 percent above the 5-year
average.

Corn in Romania benefitted from favorable rainfall in the primary growing areas of the south and
southeast. These fertile areas in the Danube River Valley follow the river along the border of
Bulgaria in the southwest to the Port of Constanza on the Black Sea. Meanwhile, in the western
regions around Timisoara and Arad, yields were moderately curtailed due to heat and dryness,
hence keeping national yields from rising further.

Romania is consistently one of the two largest corn producers in the European Union (EU).
Romania is the second largest corn producer in the EU for MY 2021/22, while France is first. With
limited irrigation, and a frequently hot and dry summer, Romania’s corn harvest fluctuates
significantly. Recently, national production reached a record high of 14.3 mmt in MY 2019/20
under nearly ideal weather but this was followed by a 5-year low of 10.8 mmt in MY 2020/21.
Due to the cool, wet spring which delayed summer crop progress, the harvest began later than
usual in MY 2021/22. Corn is typically harvested from September to November. (For more

 Brazil Corn: Record Safrinha Area and Production Anticipated

USDA estimates Brazil total corn production for marketing year (MY) 2021/22 at a record 116.0
million metric tons (mmt), larger by 2.0 mmt (2 percent) from last month, and larger than last
year’s crop by 29.0 mmt (33 percent). Total harvested area, for all three corn crops, is estimated
at a record 21.1 million hectares (mha), up 0.3 mha (1 percent) from last month, and up 1.2 mha
(6 percent) from last year. Yield is estimated at 5.50 tons per hectare, 26 percent above last year’s
mediocre crop, and 5 percent above the 5-year average. Yield expectations are essentially
unchanged month-to-month.

Slightly over half of the first-season crop has been harvested as of the first week in April. First-
season corn output is estimated at 24.3 mmt by Companhia Nacional de Abastecimento (CONAB,
an agency in the Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture). This is almost 4.0 mmt lower than initial
projections due to the drought conditions caused by La Niña in southern Brazil during sensitive
pollination and grain-filling crop stages. Weather was favorable for the center-west and eastern
states. Harvested first-season corn area is estimated by CONAB at 4.6 mha, larger than last year’s
corn area by 4 percent.

Foreign Agricultural Service/USDA 6 April 2022

Global Market Analysis
 Planting for the second-season or safrinha crop is mostly complete and was ahead of the 5-year
average in Mato Grosso, Goiás, and Paraná. Weather since planting has been favorable with
intermittent rainfall and replenishing sub-surface soil moisture in southern regions. Typically, the
rainy season for Mato Grosso and Goiás ends in mid-to-late April. On-time planting is reflected in
earlier crop development in Mato Grosso displayed by the satellite-derived Normalized Difference
Vegetation Index (NDVI). The season-to-date NDVI is analogous to the record setting MY
2018/19 season. NDVI is above average in most states except for Minas Gerais and northern parts
of Goiás where dry spells occurred over the last month. State agencies in Mato Grosso and Paraná
report record safrinha planted area. (For more information, please contact [Link]-

 Indonesia Corn: Favorable Weather and Prices Lead to Record Production

USDA estimates Indonesia corn for marketing year (MY) 2021/22 at a record 12.7 million metric
tons, up 6 percent from last month and 1 percent from last year. Harvested area is estimated at 3.9
million hectares, up 8 percent from last month and 1 percent from last year.

Typically, extended seasonal rainfall during the wet season leads to Indonesian farmers planting
more rice than other crops, as adequate water supplies fuel cultivated rice area for all three
cropping cycles. For the second consecutive year, however, Indonesia has experienced a prolonged
wet season, and sustained high corn prices as seen in MY 2020/21, have continued to incentivize
farmers to plant more corn. The latest Indonesian Statistical Agency’s Paddy Harvest Area Pattern
report highlights that the lower rice harvested area for the first crop cycle is attributed to higher
corn area.

As a result of continued rainfall, yield potential was reduced due to extended periods of cloudiness
throughout the season, limiting sunshine exposure during the most sensitive periods of corn
development. Additionally, the Indonesian government reduced the budget for fertilizer subsidies
in 2022 leading to decreased application use which have also contributed to yield declines. Yield
is estimated at 3.26 tons per hectare, down 2 percent from last month and down less than 1 percent
from last year. (For more information, please contact [Link]@[Link].)

 Pakistan Corn: Production Revised Up

USDA estimates Pakistan’s corn production for marketing year (MY) 2021/22 at 8.3 million
metric tons (mmt), up 0.7 mmt (9 percent) from last month, but down 0.6 mmt (7 percent) from
last season’s record crop. Harvested area is estimated at 1.4 million hectares (mha), unchanged
from last month but down slightly from last season’s area. Yield is estimated at 5.93 tons per
hectare, 13 percent above the 5-year average.

The production estimate is revised upward to 8.3 mmt in accordance with official data. The
positive yield trend in recent years is largely a result of the increased use of higher yielding seed
varieties imported from the United States. Corn area is growing due to corn’s profitability
compared to competing crops, particularly cotton. Expanding poultry and livestock sectors are
driving demand for corn resulting in area expansion.

Foreign Agricultural Service/USDA 9 April 2022

Global Market Analysis
 The provinces of Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa account for about 99 percent of production.
Yields are lower in Punjab due to the higher temperatures, but conditions in Khyber
Pakhtunkhwa are optimal in the fall. Approximately 65 percent of the corn in Pakistan has access
to irrigation; the remainder is farmed under rain-fed conditions. (For more information, please

 Sri Lanka Rice: Production Down due to a Decline in Yield

USDA estimates marketing year (MY) 2021/22 Sri Lanka rice production at 2.9 million metric
tons (milled-basis), unchanged from last month and down nearly 14 percent from MY 2020/21.
Harvested area is estimated at 1.1 million hectares, up nearly 13 percent from last month and 1
percent from MY 2020/21. The 13 percent area increase from last month is based on February’s
Ministry of Agriculture crop report. Yield is estimated at 3.91 metric tons per hectare, down 11
percent from last month and down 15 percent from MY 2020/21. A lack of agricultural inputs such
as fertilizers for the maha crop contributed to the decline in yields. The government of Sri Lanka
restricted imports of inorganic fertilizers in May 2021; the ban was rescinded in November.

USDA combines the 2021 yala crop, which accounts for 40 percent of the total production, and
the MY 2021/22 maha crop for the total estimate. The MY 2021/22 maha crop was harvested in
March 2022. (For more information, please contact [Link]@[Link].)

 Brazil Rice: Production Reduced due to Drought in Rio Grande do Sul

USDA estimates Brazil rice production for marketing year (MY) 2021/22 at 7.1 million metric
tons (mmt) (milled-basis), down 2 percent from last month, and 11 percent from last year.
Harvested area is estimated at 1.65 million hectares (mha), down 1 percent from last month, and 2
percent from last season. Yield is estimated at 6.36 tons per hectare (t/ha), less than 1 percent from
last month and 9 percent below last year’s record yield.

Roughly 80 percent of the rice crop in Brazil is produced in the southern states of Rio Grande do
Sul and Santa Catarina. The rice crop is planted from August through December with earlier
planting occurring in the south. All of the rice in the southern states is irrigated and yields are
usually stable. A historic drought caused by the occurrence of a La Niña severely limited water
availability in western Rio Grande do Sul. Water rationing and intermittent irrigation coupled with
high temperatures damaged the crop just as it was entering sensitive flowering stages. Vegetation

Foreign Agricultural Service/USDA 12 April 2022

Global Market Analysis
 metrics such as the satellite-derived Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) show poor
crop vigor relative to the long-term average and a sharp departure from last season’s crop. The
Technical Assistance and Rural Extension of Rio Grande do Sul (EMATER-RS) reports yield
losses of about 5 percent relative to the initial projection and 13 percent lower than last year.

National harvest is about half complete with 95 percent harvested in Santa Catarina and 53 percent
in Rio Grande do Sul. Harvest concludes in May in the south but will continue through August in
northern minor rice producing areas of Brazil. (For more information, please contact

 Pakistan Cotton: Production Revised Up

USDA estimates Pakistan’s cotton production for marketing year (MY) 2021/22 at 6.0 million
480-pound bales, up 0.2 million bales from last month and 1.5 million bales from last year.
Harvested area is estimated at 2.0 million hectares, unchanged from last month, but down 0.2
million hectares from last year. Yield is estimated at 653 kilograms per hectare, up 3 percent from
last month and 47 percent from last year’s 30-year low.

Production is revised up due to an upward revision to the estimated amount of cotton marketed
outside of the channels captured by Pakistan’s gin arrivals data. At the beginning of March,
cumulative seed cotton arrivals at
gins are 32 percent higher than the
same time last year, according to
the Pakistan Cotton Ginner’s
Association. At the provincial level
the arrivals are up 64 percent in
Punjab and up 12 percent in Sindh.
In MY 2020/21, about 500,000
bales was estimated to have been
marketed outside of traditional
channels, and with the larger crop
for 2021/22, the estimate was raised
to 700,000 bales. Cotton planting
began in April. Harvest began in
August and was completed in
November 2021.

Foreign Agricultural Service/USDA 14 April 2022

Global Market Analysis
 Peak harvest typically occurs in October. Arrivals continued until early March 2022. The two
major cotton producing provinces are Punjab (66 percent) and Sindh (33 percent) based on the
current 5-year average. (For more information, please contact [Link]@[Link].)

 TABLE 18
The table below presents a record of the April projection and the final Estimate. Using world wheat production as an
example, the "root mean square error" means that chances are 2 out of 3 that the current forecast will not be above or
below the final estimate by more than 0.5 percent. Chances are 9 out of 10 (90% confidence level) that the difference will
not exceed 0.8 percent. The average difference between the April projection and the final estimate is 2.0 million tons,
ranging from 0.1 million to 6.8 million tons. The April projection has been below the estimate 26 times and above 14
times.
