CONAB PROJECTS A RECORD HARVEST OF 358 MILLION TONS

Brazilian grain production is expected to reach 358 million tons in the 2025/26 harvest. This estimate is part of the eighth survey by the National Supply Company (Conab), based on field research conducted in April. The volume exceeds the 2024/25 harvest result by 5.7 million tons. The growth reaches 1.6% and confirms a new record for the agricultural sector. The expansion is largely due to the performance of soybeans, first-crop corn, and sorghum. Soybeans are expected to add 8.6 million tons to the volume harvested in the previous cycle. First-crop corn is expected to increase by 3.5 million tons. Sorghum is expected to grow by 1.5 million tons. The cultivated area is estimated at 83.5 million hectares. This number still depends on confirmation of the planting of third crop and winter crops. Even so, the projection indicates a growth of 2.2%. The incorporated area reaches 1.8 million hectares compared to the previous harvest.
