Published Feb 2, 2026

Tridge summary

In 2025, the neighboring country surpassed 346 million tons of grains. This is a strategic data point for the projection – and the relevance – of the South American Region in the current world. Brazil achieved a new record in the grain harvest with 346.1 million tons in 2025; and this means that between 2023 and 2025 the production of cereals, legumes, and oilseeds reached 955.23 million tons, surpassing by 199.95 million tons the total produced between 2019 and 2022 (IBGE). This is the direct result of the phenomenal success of the Brazilian “agrobusiness” – of a very high level of productivity and extraordinary capacity for innovation –, impossible to achieve without the decisive intervention of the internationally renowned laboratory that is EMBRAPA (Empresa Brasileira de Pesquisa Agropecuaria). The Brazilian grain boom is centered on 3 essential products: soy, corn, and rice; and among the 3 they represent 92.7% of the production and occupy 87.9% of the total area planted.
