São Bento do Una Achieves Unprecedented Strength in Poultry Farming by Registering 171 Million Eggs in the Year, Consolidating Leadership in the Northeast and Advancing in a National Scenario that Hit a Historical Record in Production in 2024

São Bento do Una remains in a prominent position in the national poultry farming scenario and appears as the city with the highest egg production in the Northeast.

The data are part of the Municipal Livestock Survey, released in September by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics, which presents a broad overview of the activity in 2024. The municipality registered 171 million dozens during the period and consolidated its presence among the major hubs in the country.

The regional leadership occurs in a year marked by expressive growth in the sector. Brazil reached 5.4 billion dozens, which represents 64.8 billion units.

Municipalities That Lead the Ranking

The survey shows that Santa Maria de Jetibá, in Espírito Santo, produced 346 million dozens and occupies the first position nationally. Next is Bastos, in São Paulo, with 270 million. São Bento do Una follows closely, reaffirming its relevance.

The ranking also includes Primavera do Leste, in Mato Grosso, with 112 million, and Beberibe, in Ceará, with 85 million.

These cities sustain the national volume and help define the pace of the sector, which continues to expand. The performance of São Bento do Una strengthens its position in the Northeast, where it has become a reference.

The Strength of the Flock

The survey also records an increase in the total number of poultry. In 2024, the country reached 1.6 billion animals, nearly eight times the Brazilian population.

The number increased by 1.7% compared to the previous year, with 26.8 million birds added. Of the total, 277.5 million are hens, an increase of 6.8%. Santa Maria de Jetibá leads this breeding, while São Bento do Una maintains an essential role in egg production in the region.

O Estagiário que escreveu essa reportagem citou as outras cidades e respectivos estados, mas omitiu em que estado fica São Bento do Una, como Pernambucano esclareço ao mesmo que São Bento do Una fica no Agreste de Pernambuco.

The Strength of the Flock

Engineers want to carve through Africa with a giant canal to bring water from the world’s second-largest river to a dying lake on the edge of the Sahara Desert that has already lost 90% of its water.

Brazil filled the Northeast with wind turbines but now faces the side effect of 705 giant blades reaching the end of their lifespan by 2032 just in Rio Grande do Norte, while the world projects 43 million tons of waste by 2050.

India approved the country’s first submerged road-rail tunnel, 15.8 kilometers dug under the bed of the Brahmaputra River.

Instead of burning or burying old tires, an American city is transforming about 2,000 of them into the street itself, paving its first sections with a quieter and more durable rubber asphalt.

In just one cast, fishermen are surprised to capture 14,096 mullets in Bombinhas and close a historic season with 58,000 fish; scene recorded in the Santa Catarina paradise marks the last day of the 2026 season.

10 giant tortoises are reintroduced and, in just 6 months, trigger changes that lead scientists to investigate a phenomenon absent for 180 years; the numbers recorded on the island impress researchers from around the world.

Greek island offers free housing for volunteers, but there’s a condition: you need to take care of rescued cats.

What many people consider a weed has become a bicycle in the hands of a Chilean. José Tomás transforms coligüe, a native bamboo that grows up to five times faster than pine, into bikes, canes, and cutlery.

Only 28% of the ocean floor has been accurately mapped, less than what is already known about the surface of Mars and the Moon, and scientists consider the topic strategic for Brazil, with a global goal to map everything by 2030.

Japan wants to bury a 500 km “cargo conveyor” between Tokyo and Osaka to replace up to 25,000 trucks per day, move goods through tunnels and automated driverless corridors, and avoid a logistical collapse in an increasingly aging country.

GAC launches “Chinese hybrid Kombi” with 7 seats cheaper than Tiggo 8 Pro Plug-in Hybrid in Brazil; for around R$ 177,000 in conversion without taxes, the Trumpchi E8 PHEV has a 2.0 engine, DHT transmission, an electric range of 150 km, and a premium family cabin for those living in China.

Without money for a tractor or Tobata, a farmer from Presidente Getúlio bought an old motorcycle from an auction and created an agricultural tricycle that carries up to 900 kg of fertilizer in the field; in five years, he has already sold eight to neighbors.

A single tank in the lake of a plant yields 90,000 kilos of tilapia every six months, and the company wants to multiply this by 500 to take Mato Grosso do Sul from 11th place to the top in the country.

Russia recognizes Brazil as free from foot-and-mouth disease without vaccination on June 10, 2026, strengthens Brazilian agribusiness, and paves the way for more meat, fish, nuts, and new business with a billion-dollar market.

Fish farming becomes the new giant of Brazilian agribusiness and transforms tilapia into the “water ox,” in a chain that already moves R$ 11 billion per year and exceeds 1 million tons produced.

A family from Martins, in the interior of RN, planted seeds in their backyard that no one remembered where they came from and harvested a green and yellow fruit with the face of the Brazilian flag; the nickname “jerimum da Copa” caught on before they discovered what had actually grown there.
