Located in Hidrolândia, Fazenda Jabuticabal Hosts the Largest Jabuticaba Orchard in the World, with a Structure that Combines Agricultural Production, Rural Tourism, Winemaking, and Economic Impact for the Entire Goiás Region
The largest jabuticaba farm in the world is located in the municipality of Hidrolândia, Goiás, just 30 kilometers from Goiânia. The property, known as Fazenda Jabuticabal, has 42,000 jabuticaba trees distributed over 35 acres of land and ensures an annual production of approximately 220 tons per harvest, solidifying Brazil as an international reference in the cultivation of exotic fruits.
The farm was founded in 1947 by Antônio Batista da Silva, who started planting with 7,000 jabuticaba trees. Decades later, the property became the largest in the world in this sector, attracting visitors from all over Brazil and abroad interested in both harvesting and its derived products.

The eggshell that almost everyone throws away is made up of about 95% calcium carbonate and can help enrich the soil when crushed, slowly releasing nutrients and being reused in home gardens and vegetable patches.

This farm in the United States does not use sunlight, does not use soil, and produces 500 times more food per square meter than traditional agriculture: the secret lies in 42,000 LEDs, hydroponics, and a system that recycles even the heat from the lamps.

The water that almost everyone throws away after cooking potatoes carries nutrients released during the preparation and can be reused to help in the development of plants when used correctly at the base of gardens and pots, at no additional cost and without changing the routine.

The sea water temperature rose from 28 to 34 degrees in Santa Catarina and killed up to 90% of the oysters: producers who planted over 1 million seeds lost practically everything and say that if it happens again, production is doomed to end.
According to the founder’s grandson, chemical and industrial engineer Marcos Paulo Batista, the farm preserves the family legacy while investing in technology, diversification, and tourism. The information was reported by the Compre Rural portal, in a report published in September 2024.
Tradition and Legacy of Over 70 Years
The trajectory of Fazenda Jabuticabal began with a bet considered bold at the time. Antônio Batista, who worked reselling fruits in Goiânia, decided to invest in his own cultivation after making a profit from selling boxes of jabuticaba. The initial success led him to expand the planting, transforming a small agricultural area into one of the largest fruit farming hubs in Brazil.
Antônio Batista passed away in December 2023, at 97 years old, but left behind a consolidated structure. Today, the property retains the title of the largest plantation in the world and has become a symbol of persistence, tradition, and innovation in the Brazilian agribusiness.
In addition to fruit production, the farm has expanded its activities over the years, also operating as a farm winery and expanding into other crops, such as cajá-manga and tangerine, as well as dairy cattle.
Agricultural Production and Jabuticaba Derivatives
With 42,000 trees in full production, Fazenda Jabuticabal adopts modern practices in cultivation, management, and irrigation, ensuring strict quality standards. Production goes far beyond fresh consumption: the fruits are transformed into jellies, juices, liqueurs, and wines, marketed in various regions of Brazil and also exported.
The property’s winery is one of the highlights, producing the renowned jabuticaba wine, known for its distinctive flavor and artisanal process. In addition, the farm continuously invests in research to expand its product line and add value to the fruit, becoming a reference in the agro-industry sector.
This diversification has ensured that the farm has become an agro-industrial hub of national relevance, strengthening its position as an example of innovation in the field.
Rural Tourism and Cultural Experience
Fazenda Jabuticabal is not limited to cultivation. During the harvest, which takes place annually, the property opens its doors to thousands of visitors from all over the country. Rural tourism has become one of the main parallel activities of the farm, offering an immersive experience in the world of jabuticaba.
Visitors can participate in harvesting, learn about the production processes of the derivatives, taste handcrafted wines, and take strolls through the extensive orchards. Additionally, the farm’s structure features a restaurant, café, brewery, lookout point, photo space, souvenir shops, and leisure areas.
This combination of agribusiness and tourism has made the farm one of the main visitation destinations in Goiás, attracting families, schools, and groups of international tourists.
Economic Impact and Job Creation
The relevance of the farm surpasses the bounds of agricultural production. During the harvest, hundreds of direct and indirect jobs are created in Hidrolândia and the surrounding area, boosting the local economy.
The flow of visitors strengthens regional tourism and increases income circulation, benefiting everything from small businesses to hospitality networks. Thus, Fazenda Jabuticabal has established itself as a pillar of economic development for Goiás.
The report from Compre Rural also highlights that the property helps put Hidrolândia and the state on the map of major agricultural productions in the world, elevating the significance of jabuticaba as a national product.
Sustainability and Promising Future
Fazenda Jabuticabal also invests in sustainable management, using controlled irrigation and environmental preservation practices that minimize production impacts. Biological pest control and conscious water usage ensure a balanced operation with low environmental impact.
Expansion projects are underway, both to increase the cultivated area and to develop new products derived from the fruit. The goal is to maintain the title of the largest jabuticaba farm in the world and expand the brand’s presence in the international market.
With this long-term vision, Fazenda Jabuticabal remains a symbol of national pride, highlighting Brazil’s potential in agribusiness and rural tourism.
If jabuticaba has managed to conquer the world from a farm in the interior of Goiás, could other treasures of our biodiversity also follow the same path and place Brazil at the top of international production?
