Grains and Fruits Drive Growth

The advance of Bahia in agribusiness is directly linked to the production of soybeans, corn, and cotton.

These crops are the main contributors to the high value generated in the municipalities of the state. In addition to grains, fruit cultivation also plays a significant role, especially for mango, passion fruit, bananas, and grapes.

National Production Exceeds R$ 814 Billion

According to MAPA, Brazilian agricultural production in 2023 totaled R$ 814.5 billion. The 100 wealthiest municipalities accounted for R$ 260 billion of this value, equivalent to 31.9% of the total.

These municipalities are distributed across 14 states, with Mato Grosso leading with 36 cities in the ranking.

The survey used data from the Agricultural Production Municipal (PAM) from IBGE and considered 70 products from permanent and temporary crops.

Soybeans remain the country’s main crop, with R$ 348.6 billion, followed by corn, sugarcane, cotton, coffee, and oranges.

Bahia, with its strength in agriculture, continues to consolidate its position in the national agricultural scenario.
