The sector presented a reach of 9.12% of the national GDP by registering R$ 1.067 trillion in results, with approximately 9 million employees involved in daily operations, although there are local variations.

Network Performance

Of the 10 largest networks, five are headquartered in São Paulo, while Minas Gerais has two, and Maranhão, Paraná, and Santa Catarina each have one, showing a diverse geographic distribution in the ranking.

There were two position changes between 2023 and 2024, with Grupo Pão de Açúcar yielding the fourth position to Supermercados BH and Mart Minas reaching the eighth position previously held by Ceconsud.

The 10 Largest Supermarket Networks in Brazil by Revenue

The Soviet Union spent 22 years drilling into the Earth’s crust and reached a depth of 12,262 meters — they found water where it was thought impossible, hydrogen bubbling from the rock, granite that is 2.7 billion years old, and temperatures of 180 degrees that melted the drill bits.

Egypt wants to draw 10 million cubic meters of water from the Nile per day into the desert, irrigate a new agricultural frontier, and build a city where there is currently only sand.

Norway is drilling 27 kilometers of rock 392 meters below the bottom of a fjord to build the world’s largest and deepest underwater road tunnel — when completed, a 21-hour journey will be reduced to 10.

An astronaut spent 340 days in space while his twin brother stayed on Earth, and NASA found a “rejuvenating” effect, genes, microbiome, cognition, and immune system that revealed the biological cost of living outside the planet.

After 14 years of construction and a diplomatic crisis that nearly led to a military confrontation over control of the Nile, Ethiopia inaugurated the largest hydroelectric power plant in Africa — the dam is 170 meters high, holds 74 billion cubic meters of water, and generates 5,150 megawatts.

China has just successfully tested the world’s first ground effect maritime vehicle, a craft that flies up to 6 meters above the water at 200 km/h, uses quantum technology and 6G communication, and can rescue patients in the middle of the ocean.

Giant octopuses up to 19 meters dominated the oceans 100 million years ago, and new 3D technology reveals what the true apex predators of the sea were like.

Brazil will face a week of climatic extremes with temperatures ranging from 0 degree in Serra Gaúcha to 36 degrees in the Southeast, rainfall of up to 200 millimeters in the North and Northeast, and a polar air mass that promises to be the most intense of 2026.

The R$ 61.7 billion deficit in government accounts in 2025 will trigger the fiscal framework’s mechanisms for the first time, and starting in 2027, personnel spending will only be able to grow 0.6% above inflation, which could freeze salary adjustments and public service entrance exams.

Prepare your heavy umbrella: Maranhão, Piauí, and Ceará go on alert at the end of April with up to 100 mm of rain per day, winds that could reach 100 km/h, risk of flooding and lightning strikes, as the northern coast of the Northeast becomes the main corridor for storms.
