RECORD HARVEST LOOMS, BUT PRODUCERS FACE CHALLENGES

According to Conab and Banco do Brasil, a greater planted area of soybeans (47.4 million hectares) and cotton (2 million hectares) will propel Brazilian grain production to a record 326.9 million tons in the 2024–2025 cycle. The sector worries about financial and environmental challenges despite the opportunities. Thays Moura, from Agree, underlines the need for advance contracts, crop diversification, hedging, and financial structure in lowering risks and warns about small margins. Tools like agricultural insurance are especially important in an optimistic but uncertain future for protecting against pest and climate-related losses, therefore strengthening the stability of producers’ cash flow.
