Brazil’s agribusiness GDP jumped 12.2% in 2025. It reached R$3.2 trillion (US$640bn). This lifted the sector’s share of the national economy to 25.13%, up from 22.9% in 2024.
The Centre for Advanced Studies in Applied Economics (Cepea), with Brazil’s National Confederation of Agriculture and Livestock (CNA), calculated these figures. They used prices from the fourth quarter. The agricultural segment hit R$2.06 trillion. The livestock segment reached R$1.14 trillion.
Higher crop output drove the gain. Real prices also rose through the year. This built on expansion from late 2024.
Segment Breakdown Shows Strengths
Primary production grew 17.06%. Corn and coffee led crops. Livestock added gains from higher output and prices.
Inputs rose 5.37%. Fertilizers, pesticides, and machinery boosted farm supplies. Livestock feed inputs fell, however.
Agroindustry split. Crop processing dropped 3.33% on lower industrial prices. Livestock processing surged 36.54% from price gains and more output.
Agrosservices climbed 13.76%. Livestock dynamism fuelled this.
Q4 Slowdown Signals Price Moderation
The Brazil agribusiness GDP fell 1.11% in Q4 versus Q3. All segments declined. Inputs dropped 2.32%. Primary output eased 0.92%. Agroindustry slipped 1.48%. Agrosservices dipped 0.86%.
CNA noted this pullback. Price rises from mid-2024 lost steam in Q3. Analysts had forecast the slowdown.
Even so, the full-year result shows resilience. Production held firm. Prices stayed above 2024 levels.
Investors eye steady demand for inputs like fertilizers and machinery. Livestock processing offers export upside. Policymakers track commodity trends. Watch Q1 2026 data for renewed momentum in crops and global prices.
