Rice harvest has restarted at the farm. Among the 1,500 ha sowed, we have harvested 540 ha so far, providing a dried yield of 6.8 t/ha with a high quality index (60).

Above the standard quality index of 58, buyers value the quality via an incremental price premium on the market reference price.

Although weather conditions have disrupted our productivity in terms of expected yield, the average national yield is around 6.7 t/ha according to the President of the Paraguayan Chamber of Rice (Caparroz) who judges the campaign “good”.

The latest plots sowed still need 10 days of irrigation (around 350 ha), while harvest continue for the remaining surface.
