BRAZIL MAY HAVE THE BIGGEST HARVEST IN HISTORY IN 2019

The outlook for agribusiness in Brazil in 2019 is very good.
Roberto Rodrigues, Coordinator of the Agribusiness Center
and former Minister of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply, says
Roberto Rodrigues. According to him, if Brazil has no
obstacles with the climate we should reap the biggest harvest
in history. It will be about 240 million tons of grains and 640
million tons of sugarcane. The former minister expects more
than 1 billion tons of agricultural products next year. Despite
this, Rodrigues believes that some problems must persist. The
logistics were not solved, freight became more expensive –
especially with the establishment of the freight table, after the
truck drivers strike in May 2018 – and fertilizers became more
expensive. These impediments should decrease the
producer’s margins.
