- Brazil: Canola is gaining popularity as a winter crop, particularly in Rio Grande do Sul, with increased cultivation expected in 2024.

Santa Rosa reported favorable conditions, with 90% of planting completed, setting the stage for a productive 2024. Pricing varies based on farm development programs, and phytosanitary measures, including insect monitoring, are being implemented to protect crops.
