According to the report “Agribusiness Projections, Brazil 2019/20 to 2029/30,” in the next 10 years, Brazil will reach a production of 318.3 million tons of grains; on the other hand, driven by cotton, corn, and soybeans, the 2019/20 crop is expected to exceed a record level of 250 million tons.

The ministry foresees a 16.7% increase in the area planted with grains over ten years, totaling an area of 76.4 million hectares in 2029/2030. If not considering only cereals and including sugarcane, coffee, and orange, the planting area should be 88.2 million hectares, with a rise of 13.5%.

According to the report “The Additional Need for Areas Can Be Met Through Crop Replacement, Reduction of Pastures, and Direct Planting System… The Development of Agricultural Production in Brazil Should Continue to Be Based on Productivity.”

A significant increase of 23.8% in meat production will occur in the next decade, considering beef, pork, and chicken proteins, increasing from 28.2 million to a total of 34.9 million tons. Another sector that will see a large increase despite “strong pressure from the international market” will be exports, with a 34.3% increase in chicken shipments and a total of 36.8% for pork.

According to the national government, Brazil, which is the largest exporter of soybeans, will be responsible for 52% of cereal exports in a decade, and will also supply a total of 23.2% of corn.

Sugar exports during this period are expected to increase by 57.9%, reaching 25.23 million tons in 2029/30, while corn shipments will increase by 29.1%, to 44.5 million tons.
