Brazilian Agriculture Reached a New Level with the Completion of the 2024/25 Harvest. Data Released by the National Supply Company (Conab) Indicates Not Only a Record Production Volume but Also a Significant Recovery of National Average Productivity

The 12th Grain Harvest Survey 2024/2025 from the National Supply Company (Conab) showed that Brazil registered a strong recovery in national average productivity, which increased by 13.7% in the current cycle.

This performance was driven primarily by crops in the Midwest, especially in the state of Mato Grosso, which had favorable climatic conditions for crop development.

According to Conab, the national average productivity of crops reached 4,284 kilograms per hectare in 2024/25, a significant jump compared to the previous cycle.

Expansion of Cultivated Area Strengthened Growth

In addition to improved productivity, the 2024/25 harvest was marked by the expansion of the planted area.

The cultivated area rose from 79.9 million hectares in the previous season to 81.7 million in this cycle, an increase of 1.9 million hectares.

This movement expanded the productive potential of the country and was decisive for the increase in the final volume of harvested grains.

The Vice President and Minister of Development, Industry, Commerce, and Services, Geraldo Alckmin, highlighted that the good results reflect competence, technology, and public policies applied in the field.

Soybean and Corn Lead Record Production

Among the crops, soybeans reached 171.47 million tons, a volume 13.3% higher than that obtained in the previous harvest. Corn recorded growth of over 20%, reaching 139.47 million tons.

The president of Conab, Edegar Pretto, also emphasized the performance of cotton, which reached 4.06 million tons, an increase of 9.67% compared to the previous cycle. These three products account for the majority of the increase of 49.1 million tons in the total harvest.

Rice and Wheat Exhibit Distinct Behaviors

The survey also shows that rice production reached 12.8 million tons, an increase of 20.6% compared to the 2023/24 cycle. The increase is due to a 9.8% rise in the planted area and favorable climatic conditions in the Rio Grande do Sul.

In contrast, wheat saw a reduction of 19.9% in the area allocated, totaling 2.4 million hectares. Despite a 4.5% decrease in production, estimated at 7.5 million tons, average productivity increased from 2,579 kg/ha to 3,077 kg/ha in this cycle.

Agricultural Production Exceeds 1.2 Billion Tons

During the disclosure event, the Minister of Agriculture and Livestock, Carlos Fávaro, stated that the result proves the planning and strategy of the sector. According to him, Brazilian agricultural production in 2024/25 exceeds 1.2 billion tons when grains, sugarcane, animal proteins, fruits, and cellulose are combined.

For Fávaro, this performance feeds the tables of Brazilians and ensures the presence of national agribusiness in markets around the world, reinforcing the relevance of the field to the country’s economy.
