Brazil’s 2024/25 grain harvest is projected to reach a record 339.6 million tons, up 14.2% from the previous cycle, driven by favorable weather, expanded planting area, and public policy support, according to Conab. Soybeans lead with 169.5 million tons (+14.7%), boosted by biodiesel demand. Corn production is forecast at 132 million tons (+14.3%), with strong domestic demand for ethanol. Rice rebounded to 12.3 million tons (+16.5%), while bean production dipped 1.3%. Cotton output is expected to reach 3.9 million tons, with Mato Grosso leading. Wheat is forecast at 7.8 million tons amid reduced area. Despite price pressures and international competition, domestic consumption and inventory growth are strong across key crops. The data, based on satellite and field analysis, may be adjusted depending on weather developments.
