Brazil Aims for Record Productivity with Biotechnology and Precision Management

Since 1965, when the national productivity of soybeans was only 11 sacks per hectare, the country has undergone remarkable transformations.
Today, the national average is around 60 sacks per hectare, with technologically advanced farms reaching up to 100 sacks.
Additionally, small experimental fields from the National Maximum Soybean Productivity Challenge, promoted by CESB, have already exceeded 144 sacks per hectare.
These results demonstrate the productive potential of Brazilian soil, provided it is combined with the use of appropriate technologies.

Scientist Predicts Unprecedented Scenario for Brazilian Agriculture

During the 10th Embrapa Congress, held in Campinas in July 2025, agronomist Tuneo Sediyama made a bold prediction.
With over 60 years of experience in the sector, he stated that Brazil could reach 300 sacks per hectare.
To achieve this goal, it will be essential to integrate tools such as genomics, proteomics, biochemistry, and plant physiology.
Furthermore, Sediyama advocates for the intensive use of biological nitrogen fixation.
According to him, this advancement will be just the beginning of a new agricultural revolution.

Strategies Include Genetics, AI, and Alternative Fertilizers

To reach this unprecedented level of productivity, experts advocate for the use of modern and sustainable practices.
Recommended actions include efficient soil and crop management, increasing organic matter, and utilizing bioregulators.
Another essential point involves the use of drones, artificial intelligence, and robotics in monitoring and application stages.
The adoption of alternative fertilizers is also considered strategic, especially in areas facing soil challenges.
The development of cultivars more tolerant to climate stress completes the list of priorities.

Market Sees Potential but Acknowledges Challenges

Researchers highlighted the advances made in the 50 years of Embrapa Soybeans, but warned of obstacles ahead.
Factors such as unstable prices, climate change, and high operational costs still hinder the expansion of technologies.
In Argentina, for example, Rodolfo Rossi (ACSoja) criticized the lack of government incentives, which have stalled investment in innovation.
Gene editing will be the next step.
This technology, they say, will allow for significant productivity gains with a lower environmental impact.

Where there was only sand and wind at 40 degrees, China built a megacity of 500,000 inhabitants with farms, wineries, and universities in the middle of the desert using melted glacier water from hundreds of kilometers away.

At over 8,800 meters above sea level, the summit of Mount Everest is made up of rocks that originated at the bottom of an ocean about 500 million years ago and were pushed to the highest point on Earth by the collision of tectonic plates.

What seemed like waste has turned into a barrier, and now human hair collected from salons helps retain debris in the water of ancestral channels in Latin America.

Health issues urgent alert for flu and calls for the vaccination of the elderly, children, and pregnant women this Saturday with Day D and drive-thru in Curitiba.

The radio has been in more than half of Brazilian households for decades, and in 2024, for the first time in history, the number of households without a device surpassed those with a device, with a decrease of 2.3 million in just one year.

China banned the export of 22 tons of meat from Argentina.

Motorola launched the Signature with a gold seal from DxOMark, tying with the iPhone 17 Pro in camera performance, Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 that surpassed 3 million in benchmarks, and a zoom that impresses even at night.

Satellites reveal beneath the Sahara a giant river buried for thousands of kilometers: study shows that the largest hot desert on the planet was once traversed by a river system comparable to the largest on Earth.

The government requests the Federal Revenue Service for a new system to automate the income tax declaration, reducing errors, time, and bureaucracy for millions of Brazilians.

With 74% of companies facing difficulties in hiring, technicians and engineers in renewable energy are becoming scarce in Brazil and are essential to support the expansion of solar, wind, and green hydrogen projects.

The sugar-energy sector advances with agricultural technology, but agricultural productivity still raises concerns.

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.
