According to Deral data, Paraná is expected to harvest a record 46.3 million tons of grain in 2024-25, surpassing both the previous year’s 38.48 million tons and the previous record of 45.48 million tons set in 2022-23. The expansion was fueled by high production of soybeans (21 million tons), corn (20.4 million tons), beans (841 thousand tons), rice, and coffee. The wheat and barley harvests are still underway, with recent rains increasing production; barley is also expected to break a record. A state official stressed Paraná’s role as a leader in sustainable agriculture. Looking ahead to the 2025-26 summer harvest, the state is expected to produce 25.7 million tons, cementing its status as Brazil’s second-largest grain producer behind Mato Grosso.
