- Sugarcane forecast cut: 2026 crop production revised to 2.06 million metric tons from an initial estimate of 2.18 million metric tons.
- Cattle inventory: 13,100 head of cattle across 10,000 hectares of active pasture in Brazil and Paraguay, with quarterly beef production of 415,000 kilograms.

BrasilAgro Adjusts Crop Mix and Lowers Production Forecasts for 2026/27
BrasilAgro - Companhia Brasileira de Propriedades Agrícolas, a company focused on the acquisition, development, and sale of rural properties in Brazil, disclosed revised agricultural operation estimates for the 2026/27 harvest year via a Form 6-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on November 3, 2026, and signed by CFO Gustavo Javier Lopez. According to the filing, total projected planted area of 164,664 hectares is consistent with the estimate disclosed in the fourth quarter of 2026 and represents a 1% reduction from the prior harvest year.
The filing attributes the shift in crop mix to two factors: a lack of recovery in corn prices, which led to some corn-suited land being placed in fallow or planted with cover crops, and stronger soybean prices that made soybeans more profitable than corn in certain areas. As a result, soybean area expands 1% while other crops, including cover crops, advance 8%. First-crop corn area declines 15% and second-crop corn area falls 5%. The company disclosed that "the revised planting plan maintains the selective allocation of acreage established for the 2026/27 crop year, prioritizing crops and regions with a more favorable risk-return profile."
On sugarcane, the filing notes that the 2026 harvest has been affected by weather conditions and the crushing pace of mills. As of September 30, 2026, 1.2 million metric tons had been harvested, compared with 1.6 million metric tons in the same period of the prior crop year. In Maranhao, a slower crushing pace delayed the harvest and deferred approximately 175,000 metric tons of sugarcane to the next quarter. The company revised its 2026 sugarcane production forecast to 2.06 million metric tons with an estimated TCH of 77.05, down from the initial estimate of 2.18 million metric tons and TCH of 79.51. The filing states that "the estimates are hypothetical data and do not constitute a promise of performance."
