The New Holland CR 10.90 combine harvester set a new productivity record in Luiz Eduardo Magalhães, Bahia, according to RankBrasil
Brazilian agribusiness has reached an impressive new milestone: a New Holland CR 10.90 combine harvester broke the national productivity record by harvesting 481,2 tons of soybeans in just 8 hours. The operation took place in the city of Luiz Eduardo Magalhães, in Bahia, and was certified by RankBrasil, an independent entity that has approved national records since 1999. The feat highlights the technological evolution of the agricultural sector and the efficiency of modern machines, which enable significant gains in productivity and optimization of time in the field.
The machine used in the record harvest was equipped with a 50-foot platform, which allowed it to cover 131 hectares in a short period. According to experts, this technology is essential to meet the demands of Brazilian agribusiness, which is increasingly seeking efficiency and reduced operating costs. Ricardo Basso, rural producer responsible for the operation, highlighted the importance of cutting-edge mechanization to achieve high levels of productivity.
Advancement of agricultural technology and impact on productivity
The record set reinforces the impact of technological innovation in the field. Machines such as the New Holland CR 10.90 are designed to offer greater operational efficiency, reducing harvest losses and maximizing producer profitability. According to the manufacturer New Holland, the harvester is equipped with a double rotor system that improves grain separation, ensuring a cleaner and faster harvest.

According to RankBrasil, which certified the achievement, the machine’s performance proves the evolution of Brazilian agriculture and the country’s ability to stand out in the global grain production scenario. “This record reflects the high technological level of Brazilian agribusiness, which has increasingly invested in modern equipment to optimize production,” said Luciano Cadari, director of RankBrasil.
Brazilian agribusiness and the search for efficiency
Brazil is one of the largest soybean producers in the world, and the search for new technologies to increase productivity has become a priority for farmers. According to data from the National Supply Company (Conab), the 2024/2025 soybean harvest could exceed 155 million tons, driven by improvements in mechanization and the use of planting and management techniques.
The record harvest recorded in Bahia reinforces Brazil's leading role in the sector and the ability of producers to adopt innovative solutions to face challenges such as climate change and market fluctuations global commodity market. Advanced mechanization, combined with efficient planning, is essential to ensure that productivity continues to grow in the coming years.
