In 2024, Brazil experienced a 3% growth in wheat flour production, reaching over 13.19 million tons. This increase equates to 380,432 tons more than the previous year, according to the Brazilian Wheat Industry Association (Abitrigo). The production was distributed across 150 industrial plants in the country. The majority of the flour was consumed by the bakery and premixes industry (30%), followed by the pasta industry (15.4%), and the biscuit industry (11.9%). However, the country remains heavily reliant on imported wheat, with half of the wheat consumed in 2024 being imported, particularly in the North and Northeast regions.
