Brazilian agribusiness and rural development

Overview

Agribusiness sectors in Mato Grosso and Mato Grosso do Sul continue to expand. In Mato Grosso do Sul, swine production has grown by approximately 50% over three years, and animal protein exports have risen significantly. The cellulose sector has reached record milestones, with 2025 exports hitting 20.7 million tons, prompting companies like Suzano to expand their workforce in Três Lagoas and surrounding areas.

National grain production is projected to reach record levels for the 2026/27 cycle, with Conab estimating a total of 367.1 million tons. Soybean production is expected to reach approximately 181.6 million tons, while corn is projected at 148 million tons. In Mato Grosso, corn consumption is expected to surpass exports for the first time in the 2026/27 cycle due to animal feed demand. However, rice production is anticipated to decline due to El Niño, and Brazil remains dependent on imported palm oil through 2027.

The ethanol sector is seeing historic growth; Mato Grosso reached a record for hydrated ethanol consumption in 2026, and Brazilian corn-based ethanol production is projected to reach 11.8 billion liters in the 2026/27 harvest. In the Centro-Sul region, ethanol sales reached a historic high of 3.36 billion liters in August 2026. Analysts suggest Brazil may resume importing ethanol from the United States via Pernambuco in early 2027.

To support rural development, the Mato Grosso government has invested over R$ 1 billion in family farming. Technological integration is also rising, with producers in Paraná testing artificial intelligence for precision agriculture.
