Brazil agribusiness logistics expansion

Entities: Brazil · Brazilian agribusiness · Nstech · Brazilian agribusiness sector · cabotage (domestic coastal shipping)

Overview

In mid‑July 2026, Brazil's agribusiness logistics were highlighted for a surge in aviation use, with turbo‑prop aircraft fleets expanding by over 7% to serve remote farms in the Midwest, Matopiba and the North. Road freight generated more than R$ 211 billion in revenue and R$ 14.2 billion in ICMS tax between January 2024 and December 2025, while bus operators saw a decline in active services and passenger volumes. Insurance premiums rose modestly, offset by an overall sector revenue dip.

A fortnight later, the focus shifted to technology‑driven enhancements. Platforms such as Motz reported a 147% increase in agribusiness clients in 2025 and a target‑driven revenue rise of 16% by the end of 2026. Nstech’s new agribusiness unit now accounts for roughly 30% of its sales, providing digital cold‑chain and trading tools. Domestic cabotage, still a small share of the transport mix, grew rapidly, moving 223 million tonnes in 2025 and attracting major users like Mondelēz International, which has nearly tripled its shipments via this mode. Together, the snapshots trace a broadening from traditional transport modes toward tech‑enabled, multimodal logistics solutions in Brazil’s agribusiness sector.
