S\u00e3o Paulo \u2013 The Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply of Brazil forecasts that the grain output in the country will reach some 390 million tonnes ten years from now, a 24% growth, which means 75.5 million tonnes. The result is set to be reached especially in the soybean, maize and cotton<\/strong> crops.<\/p>\n

The forecast is on the Agribusiness Projections Report \u2013 Brazil 2022-23 to 2032-33<\/strong> that was carried out by the Ministry\u2019s Secretariat of Agricultural Policies in partnership with Brazilian government’s agriculture research agency Embrapa.<\/p>\n

According to the Ministry, this increase in production will be achieved at a yearly rate of 2.4%. The area set aside for planting foodgrains are expected to increase from 77.5 million hectares to 92.3 million hectares in 2032-33.<\/p>\n

Investments in research<\/strong><\/p>\n

Soybean<\/strong> production is expected to account for 78% of the planted area, and its output is expected to reach 186.7 million tonnes in 2032 and 2033, up 20.6% from the 2022-23 output.<\/p>\n

The survey warns that although the agribusiness projections show a \u201chuge growth potential,\u201d investments in research will have to increase.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe additional 14.7 million hectares of grain planted area may come from converting currently dilapidated areas, particularly from extensive pastures, and other possibilities, so as not to impact the country\u2019s vegetation cover,\u201d the Ministry said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Maize and cotton<\/strong><\/p>\n

Following the soybean example, maize is also set to be influenced by its increased use to produce biofuels<\/strong> (biodiesel and corn ethanol). According to the survey, its estimated total output for 2032-33 is 160 million tonnes, up 27% from 2022-23 output.<\/p>\n

\u201cExports<\/strong> and the maize demand for producing ethanol<\/strong> will be two major forces to encourage its cultivation. Maize has increasingly gained in importance as both a raw material and a foodstuff,\u201d the Ministry went on.<\/p>\n

The survey forecasts a 3.6 million tonne production of cotton<\/strong> ten years from now, up 26.8%. Ninety percent of its current production comes from the states of Mato Grosso and Bahia.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe productivity boost is expected to be driven by genetic improvement, better agricultural practices, new technologies, and precision farming,\u201d the Ministry said.<\/p>\n

Meats<\/strong><\/p>\n

Meat (beef, pork and poultry) production is expected to rise by 6.6 million tonnes from 2022-23 to 2032-33. If confirmed, the result will mean a 22.4% increase in production, from 29.6 million tonnes to 36.2 million tonnes.<\/p>\n

\u201cPoultry and pork<\/strong> are expected to see the highest growth rates over the following years: poultry by 28.1% and pork by 23.2%. Beef<\/strong> output is slanted to grow by 12.4%, although Brazil will keep leading the global beef market, supplying 28.5% of the global consumption,\u201d the Ministry said based on the country\u2019s \u201cinfrastructure growth endeavor,\u201d as well as \u201cinvestment in research and funding for the sector.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the survey, the country\u2019s meat output will be pushed up by the growth of the domestic market and exports. Approximately 35.5% of the poultry output and 14.8% of the pork output will be intended for the domestic market. \u201cAlthough Brazil is a major exporter of several products, the domestic market will be relevant,” the Ministry forecasted.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe domestic market<\/strong>, exports and gain in productivity will be the leading growth factors over the coming decade. In 2032-33 nearly 33% of the soybean output will be intended for the domestic market, while 65% of the maize production and 43% of the coffee<\/strong> output will be consumed domestically,\u201d said the Ministry.<\/p>\n
