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. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-04: Agricultural forecasts show growth in Algarve wine and decline in Brazil sugar Agricultural forecasts indicate rising wine production in Portugal's Algarve region, while Brazil's Centro-Sul sugar output is expected to decline due to a higher ethanol production mix. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/agricultural-forecasts-show-growth-in-algarve-wine-and-decline-in-brazil-sugar ### 2026-08-19: Fruit producers in Portugal and Brazil see production recovery Fruit producers in Portugal and Brazil report a recovery in pear and apple production and exports following years of losses, though climate instability remains a significant threat to stability. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/fruit-producers-in-portugal-and-brazil-see-production-recovery --- Cite as: Agricultural production trends in Portugal and Brazil.
