Santa Catarina saw a rise in agricultural output across several crops during the 2024-25 harvest. Corn’s average production increased by 25%, reaching 2.2 million tons, despite an 11.3% decline in the planted area. Soybeans again shone out with a 12.2% increase in production, reaching 2.91 million tons. Production of beans increased by 19.45%, while wheat increased by 38%. In the livestock sector, pork and chicken exports set records, increasing by 9.3% and 5.7%, respectively, with drops in December. Onions prices fell due to oversupply, but garlic imports increased. The Epagri/Cepa report emphasized the Santa Catarina agricultural sector’s resilience in the face of climate and economic problems. This strengthens the state’s position as Brazil’s top producer of agricultural products and exporters.
