AGRICULTURE SHINES IN Q1 WITH IMPRESSIVE 12.2% GROWTH

Brazil’s agricultural sector grew by 12.2% in Q1 2025, contributing significantly to the country’s 1.4% GDP growth, as reported by the Confederation of Agriculture and Livestock (CNA). Favorable weather conditions and farmer investments boosted soybean and corn yields, increasing agriculture’s share of GDP from 6.7% to 7.4%. However, the CNA cautions that high costs and economic uncertainties may limit similar investments in the next harvest. The CNA emphasizes that long-term policies, including affordable credit and risk mitigation, are essential to sustain productivity, food security, and export growth.
