Brazil’s 2025 Agricultural Gross Production Value Reaches R$ 1.41 Trillion, Up 11% from 2024

The Gross Production Value (GVP) of Brazil’s agricultural sector for the 2025 harvest, based on data from January, reached R$ 1.41 trillion, marking an 11% increase over the 2024 cycle (R$ 1.27 trillion).

The commodities with the highest growth were coffee (+46.1%), castor beans (+40.5%), cocoa (+25.0%), peanuts (+23.8%), corn (+16.7%), and soybeans (+13.4%). Meanwhile, the sharpest declines were seen in potatoes (-61.1%), tomatoes (-20.0%), bananas (-9.0%), wheat (-8.2%), and rice (-7.2%).

In the livestock sector, cattle farming recorded the strongest expansion (+21.8%), followed by poultry (+6.5%), pork (+4.6%), and dairy (+2.2%). Egg production, however, saw a 5.6% drop, as recent price adjustments were not yet reflected in the data.

Among the 17 crop types assessed, overall agricultural output increased by 11.0%, while livestock—including cattle, poultry, pork, dairy, and eggs—rose by 10.9%.

Soybeans continue to be the leading contributor to total production value, generating R$ 341.5 billion, followed by corn at R$ 147.0 billion, sugarcane at R$ 121.6 billion, and coffee at R$ 116.4 billion. Together, these four crops accounted for 51.8% of total VBP.

In livestock, cattle farming led with R$ 206.1 billion, followed by poultry at R$ 113.0 billion and dairy at R$ 69.3 billion. Cattle alone represented 14.6% of total VBP.

The primary factors behind the increase in GVP for the top six commodities were price hikes for coffee, cocoa, and corn, while higher output drove gains in castor beans, peanuts, and soybeans. In the livestock sector, price increases were the main growth driver, except for eggs, which saw a 5.6% drop in deflated prices.

The Gross Production Value is calculated monthly by the Agricultural Policy Secretariat of the Ministry of Agriculture, reflecting gross farm revenues. It is based on production data from the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) and the National Supply Company (Conab), as well as market prices compiled by Conab and Cepea/Esalq. Figures are adjusted for inflation using the IGP-DI index from FGV, with January 2025 as the reference period.
