Agribusiness Exports from Minas Gerais Reached US$ 19.8 Billion in 2025, Up 15.5% from 2024, with 43.5% of State Shipments, Down 5% in Export Volume and Leadership of Coffee, which Accounted for More Than Half of Total Revenue

The agribusiness of Minas Gerais closed 2025 with record exports of US$ 19.8 billion, a 15.5% increase from 2024, accounting for 43.5% of state shipments and a volume of 16.2 million tons, confirming the sector as the main driver of external sales for Minas Gerais.

Record Performance Consolidates Agribusiness Leadership

The result recorded in 2025 confirmed the strong performance observed throughout the year and represented the highest value ever achieved by Minas Gerais’ agricultural exports since the beginning of the historical series in 1997. The sector maintained its position as the state’s top exporter.

Despite the significant increase in revenue, the exported volume showed a decrease of approximately 5% in the total from January to December, totaling 16.2 million tons. Nevertheless, the growth in value ensured the best annual closure of the segment.

Official Evaluation Highlights Resilience and Relative Growth

According to the deputy secretary of Agriculture, Livestock, and Supply, João Ricardo Albanez, Minas Gerais’ agribusiness demonstrated strength and resilience in 2025, reaffirming its importance as a generator of employment, income, and food for Brazil and the world.

According to the secretary, Minas Gerais was the state that grew the most in external sales within the segment among the country’s main exporters, even facing an international scenario marked by economic adversities and tariff barriers, ranking third in the national ranking.

Diversity of Products and Market Expansion

The exported goods from Minas Gerais’ agribusiness included 650 products sent to 178 countries throughout 2025. The main destinations were China, with US$ 4.6 billion, the United States, with US$ 1.9 billion, Germany, with US$ 1.8 billion, in addition to Italy and Japan, both with US$ 1 billion.

João Albanez emphasized the market expansion and diversification of the product list, which included, in addition to traditional chains like coffee, soy, meat, forestry products, and the sugar and alcohol sector, the growth of items like honey, cheeses, and dulce de leche, strengthening Minas Gerais’ presence abroad.

Coffee Leads and Accounts for More Than Half of Revenue

Coffee remained the main product of Minas Gerais’ agribusiness in 2025. The combination of reduced global stocks and increasing premiums for specialty coffees positively influenced international prices and the commercialization scenario.

In the year, coffee reached US$ 11.4 billion in exports, accounting for 57.2% of the total value of Minas Gerais’ agribusiness. The exported volume was 27.4 million bags, consolidating the product as the flagship of the sector, even amidst global market fluctuations.

Meat, Soy, and Sugar-Alcohol Sector Show Distinct Results

The cattle, pork, and chicken meat segment recorded the highest export value in the entire historical series, with US$ 1.85 billion, and a volume of 513 thousand tons, marking the best performance ever observed for the sector.

The soy complex totaled US$ 2 billion in revenue and 4.7 million tons, with decreases of 9.8% in value and 1.2% in volume. Meanwhile, the sugar-alcohol complex showed a contraction of 20%, closing the year with US$ 2 billion and 4 million tons shipped.

Cheeses and Dulce de Leche Reinforce International Position

Cheeses and dulce de leche secured Minas Gerais’ leadership in exports of this segment compared to other states. Cheeses reached US$ 10 million in revenue, while dulce de leche totaled US$ 838 million.

The data indicate not only growth in revenue but also a qualitative reconfiguration of the international insertion of Minas Gerais’ products, especially those associated with the state’s productive identity.

At just 14 years old, a boy creates a system without energy, using steel pipes buried in the ground, that irrigates seedlings with moisture from the air, to combat the water scarcity threatening reforestation in northern China.

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.

A couple builds a system to bring water from the spring to their land, climbs a hill with materials on their backs, and creates a simple, cheap, and sustainable solution to ensure their own water supply.

The end of total solar eclipses has a deadline: the Moon is moving away from the Earth at about 3.8 cm per year, and in approximately 600 million years, it will no longer completely cover the Sun, ending one of the rarest coincidences in the Solar System.

With 40% of all the gold on the planet buried in a single geological basin that is 2.7 billion years old in South Africa, the Witwatersrand still hides R$ 3 trillion in unreachable reserves.

In the depths of the African forest, these rare and terrifying native species dominate rivers, swamps, and treetops with venom, brute strength, lethal teeth, and behaviors that seem impossible in the heart of the wild.

Brazilian Navy reaches a new level by taking over an airport with a 1,600-meter runway used by 1,800 military personnel and autonomous attack drone testing.

Home environment can influence the brain, mood, and well-being: studies indicate an increase of up to 15% in productivity, a reduction of 12% in stress with plants, and a direct impact of the circadian rhythm on the 24 hours of the day.

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.
