Brazil is on track to achieve a record-breaking grain harvest in the 2024 – 2025 season, with early harvest results confirming optimistic projections. Favourable weather conditions across major agricultural regions, combined with an expansion in planted areas, have created ideal growing conditions for key crops.

Current estimates indicate total grain production could reach 330.3 million tonnes, representing a significant increase of 10.9 per cent compared to the previous season, as reported by

The soybean crop, which accounts for the largest share of production, is expected to set new records with an estimated output of 167.9 million tonnes. This represents a substantial increase from last year’s harvest, driven by exceptional yields in leading production states where harvesting is nearly complete. Similarly, corn production shows strong growth potential, with total output forecast at 124.7 million tonnes. With soybean harvesting moving quickly, second-crop corn planting was done in a timely manner and is now close to being finished across most areas.

Cotton production is also poised to reach record levels, with output projected to rise by 5.1 per cent to 3.9 million tonnes. The increase in cotton acreage, coupled with better growing conditions, has bolstered these optimistic outlooks.

Rice and bean crops are performing well, with over 60 per cent of rice fields already harvested, thanks to favourable weather that has supported growth all season.

Domestic demand projections for key crops have been raised, while export forecasts remain robust. The expansion of cultivated land and enhanced productivity across various crops have created highly promising prospects for Brazil’s agriculture this season. These advancements may further solidify the country’s role as a top global producer and exporter of agricultural goods.
