Minas Gerais Conquers Markets and Leads in Coffee, with US$ 12.8 Billion Exported, Even with Decline in Soybeans, Sugar, and Meats.

The exports of the agribusiness sector in Minas Gerais reached US$ 12.8 billion between January and August of this year. This value represents a growth of 13.5% compared to the same period of the previous year. Despite the increase in revenue, the shipped volume fell by 8.7% and totaled 11.6 million tons.

More than 590 agricultural products from Minas were sent to 174 countries.

China accounted for 26% of the purchases, the United States for 11%, Germany for 8%, and Italy and Japan for 5% each. These destinations confirm the global presence of Minas’ production and maintain the state as the third largest exporter in the sector.

Valuation and New Markets Drive Growth

According to the technical advisor of the Secretary of Agriculture, Livestock, and Supply (Seapa), Manoela Teixeira, the valuation of prices has driven revenue growth.

She highlighted that the sector also conquered new markets and expanded its presence in alternative routes, such as the Philippines, Mexico and Chile, reinforcing the adaptation in response to changes in access to traditional markets.

Coffee Maintains Absolute Leadership

Coffee remains the main product of Minas’ agribusiness, with US$ 6.88 billion exported during the period.

Revenue rose 52% compared to 2024, driven by price valuation, favorable exchange rates, and recognized quality. Minas Gerais accounted for about 70% of Brazil’s coffee exports.

Soybeans, Meats, and Sugar-Ethanol Sector Decline

The soybean complex recorded US$ 2.4 billion with 6 million tons shipped but saw declines of 18% in revenue and 10% in volume.

The sugar-ethanol sector totaled US$ 1.2 billion with 3 million tons, decreasing by 18.3%.

Meats generated US$ 1.2 billion with 324 thousand tons, supported by Chinese demand and new shipments to the Middle East.

Forest products (pulp, wood, and paper) reached approximately US$ 653 million.

The exported volume stood at 1 million tons, consolidating this sector as an important part of Minas Gerais’ export agenda.

In the cold desert of Ladakh, where it hardly rains, engineer Sonam Wangchuk created the ice stupa, a tower that freezes winter water and stores it for irrigating crops in the spring, a simple engineering feat that mimics nature.

Almost 6,000 residents live concentrated along a single street nearly 9 km long in the interior of Poland. Houses form a continuous row, and behind them, narrow agricultural strips emerge, creating one of the most unusual rural patterns in Europe.

They planted a sea of eucalyptus to produce cellulose, but the monoculture turned into a green desert, dried up springs and rivers, and pushed families out of regions in Minas Gerais and Bahia.

Júlia Pimentel, an 11-year-old from Minas Gerais, independently invented a new formula to calculate the square root using simple addition and multiplication, and her method was published in one of the most important mathematical scientific journals in Brazil.

Chinese woman planted trees for decades while sand buried part of her house, received $5,000 from an American in 1999, and helped transform the desert into a forest of 8 million trees in China.

Heir bought 23,000 degraded acres in the Scottish Highlands, fenced the area, planted nearly 1 million native trees, and transformed empty mountains into a forest officially recognized after meeting 15 evaluation criteria over 20 years.

The Atacama Desert, the driest place on Earth, was covered in flowers and turned into a colorful carpet with more than 200 species in the phenomenon called “desert bloom,” when atypical rains awaken seeds that had remained dormant in the soil for many years.
