The Projections for 2025 Indicate Consistent Growth of Agricultural Production in Minas Gerais, Highlighting Crops, Livestock, and Estimates That Reinforce the Economic Importance of the Sector in the State
The agricultural production in Minas Gerais is at the center of economic projections for 2025, with expectations showing a sector in expansion and associated with outcomes that strengthen rural income in several municipalities, according to an article published.
The Gross Value of Production (VBP) updated by official agencies indicates that Minas Gerais could reach R$ 168.1 billion next year, maintaining the growth trend observed in previous surveys.
This projected result reflects a 13.8% increase compared to the previous year, sustained by agricultural crops and livestock activities that show significant performance in different regions of the state.

Forgotten region becomes a powerhouse in the heart of Brazil, transforming unproductive lands into fortune and making MATOPIBA the new billion-dollar agricultural empire that almost no one saw being born.

With a 775 hp engine, the world’s largest axial combine harvester arrives in Brazil, promising to harvest more in less time with advanced automation and the capacity for platforms up to 61 feet.

With 18 million feet, giant farms, and 2.2 million sacks per year, a mining group is building a coffee empire in Brazil with heavy mechanization, giant silos, and exports to various continents.

China and Russia suspend fertilizer exports, prices soar, and Brazil is already at real risk of shortages in the fields.
With calculations from the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock (Mapa) based on information from IBGE, Conab, and Cepea/USP, the indicator synthesizes the income obtained by producers from the commercialization of agricultural and livestock items, revealing the economic relevance of rural Minas Gerais.
The expected growth also suggests an environment of greater dynamism in the productive chains, especially in those that increased their share of state revenue.
In this context, coffee, soybeans, corn, and activities related to milk and animal protein reinforce their strategic positions in the productive scenario.
Performance of Crops and VBP Projection for 2025 in Minas Gerais
The agricultural segment is expected to reach R$ 113.4 billion, accounting for 67% of the total estimated for the state, with a calculated growth of 17.3% for the year.
Coffee remains the main highlight and sustains a large part of the expected expansion, with a 48% increase and an estimated R$ 59 billion in revenue.
According to technical advisor Amanda Bianchi from the Minas Gerais Secretariat of Agriculture, Livestock, and Supply, the positive behavior of the crop reinforces the continuity of robust results in the field.
Meanwhile, the VBP for soybeans is likely to reach R$ 18.6 billion, representing an 11% increase compared to the previous cycle, while corn shows a 19% increase, totaling R$ 7.8 billion.
Despite these advances, some crops show a decline, such as sugarcane (-4%), bananas (-19%), potatoes (-55%), beans (-29%), oranges (-6%), cassava (-26%), and rice (-30%).
These numbers reveal a heterogeneous scenario, in which certain activities maintain a strong production pace, while others face challenges related to the market and cultivation conditions.
It is evident that the agricultural production in Minas Gerais encompasses distinct trends, balancing positive results and occasional reductions among crops.
Growth of Coffee and Performance of Crops Driven by Agricultural Economic Estimates
The updated data reinforce that coffee plays a decisive role in the projections for the VBP of 2025, directly influencing the overall behavior of crops in the state.
The expectation of R$ 59 billion, accompanied by a 48% increase, demonstrates the strength of the crop in the Minas Gerais production structure.
Soybeans, with an 11% expansion, and corn, with 19%, complement the group of activities that sustain a large part of agricultural revenue.
Even with declines identified in some crops, the overall farms maintain a significant average growth.
The agricultural production in Minas Gerais integrates segments that advance at an impressive pace and others that adjust their results to the market scenario, maintaining a balance that has sustained the state indicator.
These agricultural economic estimates show that productive diversity continues to be a central characteristic of Minas regions.
State Livestock Scenario and Trend of Result Increases
The VBP for livestock is also on an upward trajectory and may reach R$ 54.7 billion in 2025, representing a projected growth of 7.3%.
All products in the segment show a positive trend, particularly milk, estimated at R$ 18.3 billion with a 2% variation.
Beef follows closely, with a forecast of R$ 18 billion and a 13% increase. Chicken is expected to record R$ 8.2 billion and a 3% growth, along with pork, which may reach R$ 7.4 billion after a 7% increase.
For Amanda Bianchi, the expectation of maintaining poultry product prices throughout the year is associated with the recovery of exports and increased domestic demand, stimulated by sales of holiday birds.
It is clear that the agricultural production in Minas Gerais encompasses the advancement of key proteins and reinforces the state’s role in supplying food for both the domestic and foreign markets.
