Brazilian agribusiness labor and digital trends
Overview
The Brazilian agribusiness sector is experiencing shifts in both labor demographics and digital engagement. In the first quarter of 2026, total employment in the sector fell by 1% compared to the previous year, totaling 27.79 million workers. While agribusiness services, agro-industries, and the input sector saw declines, primary production grew by 2.5%. This growth was driven by sectors such as aquaculture, coffee, poultry, and swine. Additionally, the workforce showed an increasing average level of schooling, with a 1.6% rise in workers with higher education.
Parallel to these labor trends, digital transformation is reshaping commercial behaviors. Projections indicate that approximately 12 million individuals within the industry use digital channels, particularly social media, to request quotes. This trend is supported by high smartphone adoption rates among rural producers.
