The Gross Value of Agricultural Production (VBP) for 2022 closed at about R$ 1.189 trillion. On Monday (16), the announcement was made. This is the second highest value in a series of 34 years of calculations that this indicator has. In crops, the revenue was R$ 814.77 billion and in livestock, it was around R$ 374.27 billion.

The VBP has shown the evolution and performance of Brazilian crops and livestock throughout the year, corresponding to the revenue of all establishments. It is calculated based on all productions and prices received by those responsible for the main markets in the country and the 26 largest products of national agriculture. The real value, in addition to being obtained, is also adjusted for inflation, using the General Price Index – Internal Availability (IGP-DI) and the Getúlio Vargas Foundation (FGV). The consistency is monthly with the disclosure and even update by the 15th of each month.

In 2022, the Gross Value of Production was marked by some positive results in various products, as well as the growth of agribusiness exports and each agricultural price. Drought was the factor that most harmed performance, particularly in parts of the Midwest and the South Region, resulting in losses in soybean, corn, and beans production, negatively affecting farmers. Due to supply loss, livestock was also impacted.

Cotton, coffee, corn, wheat, and milk were the products that stood out the most in 2022. These products reached some of the highest VBP values in the entire historical period. The produced quantity and price were among the factors that most promoted these products.

Forecast for 2023

For 2023, the VBP is estimated to be 6.3% higher than that of 2022, potentially reaching over R$ 1.263 trillion. Livestock is expected to see an increase of 1.9% and crops around 8.3%. As of now, the most important plans this year are to recover the Gross Value of Production of soybeans, which is expected to reach around R$ 406.4 billion. For coffee, cotton, and wheat, a slightly lower performance is anticipated. Corn, soybeans, sugarcane, coffee, and cotton are the top five in VBP and represent about over 83.7% of the Gross Value of Production.

Forecast for 2023

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt has ceased to be a climatic phenomenon and has become a biological system that feeds on itself, with 8,000 kilometers in length, 37 million tons of algae, and scientists confirm that it is now permanent.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Engineers had to pour concrete mixed with tons of ice throughout entire nights in the Dubai desert to erect the Burj Khalifa; any carelessness could clog the pipes half a mile high.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

Air bubbles from 3 million years ago extracted from Antarctic ice reveal that the current level of CO₂ has already surpassed that of the ancient, warm world, when the sea was up to 20 meters higher and there were no factories or cars burning fuel.

Brazil went to China to seek money and technology to reinvent TV and bring the internet to places where fiber does not reach. The mission negotiated with the BRICS Bank led by Dilma and paved the way for a Chinese rival of Starlink to connect the Amazon.

About 150 workers are driving, one by one, 4,585 BYD electric cars off a 220-meter ship at the Port of Itajaí. The 48-hour mega-operation is the largest shipment from the Chinese automaker in Santa Catarina this year.

Iceland is going to lower a drill five kilometers to reach rock at 400 degrees and try to extract clean energy on a scale that a common well cannot achieve.
