Agricultural production trends in Portugal and Brazil

Overview

Agricultural trends in Portugal and Brazil show varying trajectories across different sectors. In Portugal, fruit producers are experiencing a recovery, with Rocha pear production estimated to increase by 13% despite tree culling due to bacterial fire disease. Additionally, wine production in the Algarve region is projected to grow by 12% to 15%, with volumes potentially reaching between 1.8 and 1.9 million liters by 2026.

In Brazil, the apple industry has seen a significant rebound with harvests estimated between 1,000,000 and 1,100,000 tons, though producers face concerns regarding climate instability and falling prices. Conversely, sugar production in the Centro-Sul region is predicted to decline during the 2026/27 harvest; while sugarcane milling volumes remain high, a shift toward ethanol production is expected to reduce total sugar output.
