Brazil grain production projected to reach 360.8 million tons in 2025/26

Brazil's grain production for the 2025/26 harvest is projected to reach 360.8 million tons, according to the latest report from Conab. This represents a 2.4% increase compared to the previous cycle, driven by a 2.1% expansion in cultivated area to 83.5 million hectares.

Soybeans remain the country's primary agricultural product, with an estimated production of 180.5 million tons. Corn production is expected to reach 143 million tons, though adverse weather conditions in the Northeast have impacted development in parts of Bahia, Sergipe, and Alagoas. In Mato Grosso, the second-crop corn harvest is nearly complete, with production reaching a record 57.39 million tons.

Other crops show mixed results: wheat production is estimated to fall by 26.2%, and rice production is expected to decrease due to a 14% reduction in cultivated area. Meanwhile, beef exports saw a 16.83% decline in July compared to 2025, largely due to reduced demand from China as its import quotas approach completion.
