Data from Outlook Fiesp 2029, published by the Federation of Industries of the State of São Paulo, indicate that although the combination of rice and beans is still present in the diet of Brazilians, there is a tendency for the population to increasingly incorporate other foods into their meals. . According to the survey, beans are grown in all states of Brazil and the carioquinha type remains the most consumed in the whole country. Despite the challenge of producers to open new markets for rice, through the development of more elaborate products, and the establishment of negotiations with potential consumer countries for the product, the number of net tons exported may reach 537 thousand tons in 2028/2029 , which means a 66% growth in relation to 2018/2019, a boost for the sector, since domestic consumption is expected to increase by only 6% and per capita consumption, a growth of less than 1%.
