The record crop of more than 300 million tons expected for Brazil this year demonstrates the proportion that agribusiness has taken within the Brazilian economy. Between 2002 and 2022, the country’s agricultural GDP jumped (in deflated figures) from US$122 billion to US$500 billion, the equivalent of Argentina’s GDP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to economist Jos\u00e9 Roberto Mendon\u00e7a de Barros, Brazilian agribusiness has experienced extraordinary growth in the last 40 years, especially in the last 20 years. \u201cUnlike what happened in the urban sector, whether in industry or services, the growth of agribusiness is persistent and this is the first lesson that agriculture teaches us. It is always more important to grow than to grow a lot in a few years and fall in the following years. It is sustainable growth, which makes agribusiness very competitive\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That growth, according to experts, is based on investment in research and public policies for the field, which have led to successive records in agricultural production. According to the National Supply Company (Conab), Brazil will have to overcome the barrier of 300 million tons of grain this year, consolidating itself as the third largest cereal producer in the world, behind China and the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 20 years, the cereal harvest went from 120.2 million tons to 310.6 million tons, an increase of 258%. For its part, the planted area went from 43.7 million to 76.7 million hectares, an increase of 76.5%. The numbers show that production has grown three times more than the area occupied by crops, which is due to productivity gains, thanks to investments in research and technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The protagonist in the Brazilian fields is soybean, an oilseed that adapts to the different microclimates of the country, being cultivated both in the coldest regions of the extreme south and in those with tropical climates of the north and northeast. Brazil surpassed the United States and became the main producer of the oilseed, being also the main exporter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the 2002\/03 harvest produced 47.4 million tons of soybeans, the current crop will have a production of 152.9 million, an increase of 322%, according to Conab. Corn, used in crop rotation with soybeans, increased by 260%, from 47.4 million to 123 million tons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
