Researchers highlighted in this survey that the agribusiness labor market is recovering after the most critical period of the pandemic. Thus, by the third quarter of 2020, the agribusiness share in the Brazilian labor market reached 20.55%.

In comparison to the third quarter of 2019, this represents a reduction of 7.58%, equivalent to 1.39 million people, the most significant drop in the comparison of third quarters since the beginning of the historical series of Cepea in 2012.

Agribusiness – Sector Reached US$ 1 Trillion in Exports Over the Decade

The Ministry of Economy presented data showing that over the past ten years, the agribusiness sector has become increasingly important, accounting for a large part of the economy. From 2011 to 2020, the export value of the sector is nearly 1 trillion dollars, and the sector’s trade balance is 800 billion dollars. Exports not only affect the income and investment capacity of producers but also the internal prices, which in many cases begin to reflect external values.
