The Production of Meat, Milk, and Chicken Gained Strength in 2024 and Helped the Agricultural Sector Reach R$ 1 Trillion in Revenue. Understand What Drove This Growth and What to Expect for 2025.

In 2024, Brazilian livestock reached a historic milestone: the Gross Value of Production (VBP) of livestock totaled about R$ 397.4 billion, contributing to the total VBP of agribusiness reaching R$ 1.217 trillion, of which 33% is from livestock.

This amount surpassed 2023’s result by 3.5%, once again highlighting the sector as a pillar of the national economy.

What Is VBP and Why Is It Important?

VBP (Gross Value of Production): sum of agricultural and livestock production at the sale price to the producer.
In 2024, the total VBP reached R$ 1.217 trillion, with livestock generating R$ 397 billion and crops R$ 820 billion.

This indicator shows how the agricultural sector — especially livestock — contributes to jobs, income, and exports.

Highlights of Livestock in 2024

Cattle: R$ 151.9 billion
Chickens: R$ 101.7 billion
Milk: R$ 65.8 billion
These figures reveal the robustness and diversification of the sector

Reasons for Growth

Price Increase: Strengthened exports and internal demand boosted margins, especially in cattle and chickens.
Stable or Slightly Rising Volume: Even with climatic challenges, production maintained a stable level or grew slightly.

Trends for 2025

The projections from CNA and Cepea/USP for 2025 are even more optimistic:

The total VBP of agribusiness may reach R$ 1.518 trillion, a growth of 12.3%.
Within this, livestock is expected to reach R$ 516.3 billion, a jump of 12%.

This favorable scenario is supported by rises in beef, eggs, chicken, and pork, as well as price increases in commodities.

Impact on the Economy and Society

GDP of Agribusiness is expected to grow by up to 5% in 2025, driven by the livestock sector.
Jobs: more than 28 million people, with growth in agro-industry and agri-services.
Positive Impulses: more credit, technology, favorable trading conditions, and favorable exchange rates.

Challenges and Opportunities

Main Challenges:

Climate vulnerabilities (drought, frost).
Production and logistics costs.
Environmental and sanitary regulation.

Opportunities:

Investment in technology and traceability.
Expansion of high-value-added exports.
Strengthening of the internal market, contributing to food security.

The Brazilian livestock sector, with R$ 397.4 billion in VBP, was crucial for agribusiness to surpass the mark of R$ 1.2 trillion in 2024.

For 2025, projections estimate double-digit growth, confirming the strategic role of the sector. Despite the challenges, the fundamentals, coupled with investment, technology, and market conditions, allow for a positive and sustainable outlook.

While in Brazil a 10-story building takes 2 years to complete, in China a company stacks pre-fabricated modules and raises the entire building in just 28 hours and 45 minutes.

The oldest tree in the world, alive since before the birth of Jesus Christ, is cut down in a scientific study and the case changes environmental preservation rules.

An entire island in the Pacific wants to surround itself with a colossal barrier against the ocean to try to escape increasingly violent waves and not be swallowed by the sea in the coming decades.

After ten days orbiting the Moon, science confirms that the astronauts of the Artemis II mission return with altered bodies.

With 7.4 trillion tons of artificial snow pumped in 10 years, an extreme operation could stabilize the West Antarctic ice sheet and prevent a sea level rise of more than 3 meters, but it would require snow cannons, ocean water, and energy on an almost industrial scale at the end of the world.

In the Saudi Arabian desert, the world’s largest green hydrogen plant is 80% complete and will use 4 gigawatts of solar and wind energy to produce 600 tons of clean fuel per day when it opens in 2027.

A producer from Santa Catarina started with a poultry farm of just 7,500 birds in 1994 and three decades later manages 21 farms thanks to a simple strategy he learned early on.

With US$ 4 million in 2019, the scientist halts research on mirrored life after a biosafety alert and a report in Science points to the risk of bacteria immune to defenses and antibiotics.

In China, the traffic light not only controls traffic, it identifies your face, predicts violations before the intersection, and can issue fines in seconds while exposing the driver on public screens.

The city that grew around steel produces millions of tons per year, operates with 3 industrial bases, and remains one of the strongest gears in Brazilian steelmaking.

92.62% completed, 519 km of tracks already installed, 41 tunnels excavated, and ongoing tests put the Chinese railway project of $10.63 billion in Malaysia just a few months away from starting operations and transforming the logistical axis between the two coasts of the country.

Wireless charging technology for EVs reaches 95% efficiency and allows vehicles to power electrical grids.

Pine nut production is expected to drop by up to 35% and the harvest is delayed, but 2028 appears as a major turning point with a chance of a much larger crop.

China raises global alert again after banning Brazilian meat due to substance detection, increasing inspections, and raising the risk of new restrictions.

Saudi Arabia releases 9 Brazilian fruits at once and opens a billion-dollar market in the Middle East that could transform exports, increase production, and create new jobs in agriculture.

The era of rural producers without a CNPJ in Brazil has come to an end, and those who do not rush to regularize themselves may lose access to credit, have invoices rejected, and be unable to sell their own production.

Brazilian producers are leaving Roraima to plant in Guyana, where the government offers land on concession and does not charge taxes, while in Brazil the harvest faces high interest rates and a bureaucracy that hinders even the use of the rivers.
