The Systematic Agricultural Production Survey (LSPA), published on August 14 by IBGE, shows that the national harvest of cereals, legumes, and oilseeds will reach 340.5 million tons (Mt) in 2025. This represents a 16.3% increase (47.7 Mt) over the 2024 harvest (292.7 Mt). Compared to June, the estimate showed a 2.1% increase, equivalent to 7.1 Mt.
The area to be harvested this year is expected to be 81.2 Mt, representing a 2.7% (2.2 Mt) increase compared to 2024. Compared to the previous month, the area to be harvested expanded by 49,000 hectares (0.1%).
The main positive points of the 2025 harvest in July, compared to June, are the growth in production estimates for soybeans (165.5 Mt), corn (137.6 Mt), paddy rice (12.5 Mt), and raw cotton (9.5 Mt). Rice, corn, and soybeans account for 92.7% of the production estimate and represent 88.0% of the harvested area. Compared to 2024, there were increases in the estimated production of upland raw cotton (7.1%), rice (17.7%), beans (0.4%), soybeans (14.2%), corn (19.9%, with 14.1% for first-harvest corn and 21.4% for second-harvest corn), sorghum (23.6%), and wheat (2.3%).
In terms of the area to be harvested compared to 2024, there was a 5.6% increase in herbaceous cotton (seed), 11.4% in paddy rice, 3.3% in soybeans, 3.5% in corn (a 4.9% decrease in the first corn harvest and a 5.9% increase in the second), and 10.9% in sorghum. On the other hand, the areas planted with beans (-6.1%) and wheat (-18.2%) showed reductions.
Estimated production of cereals, legumes, and oilseeds for July showed positive annual variation for all regions of the country: Midwest (21.4%), South (9.0%), Southeast (16.9%), Northeast (9.0%), and North (17.3%). In terms of monthly variation, increases were observed in the north (1.9%), south (0.7%), southeast (1.9%), and midwest (3.3%). The northeast (-0.1%) was the only region with a negative monthly variation.
Compared with June, the main increases in production estimates were for sorghum (13.5% or 585,211 t), second-crop corn (5.7% or 6,020,682 t), cashews (4.0% or 5,605 t), grapes (2.1% or 42,983 t), oats (2.0% or 26,589 t), American cotton (1.6% or 154,083 t), rice (1.5% or 185,508 t), barley (0.6% or 3,339 t), first-crop corn (0.6% or 156,042 t), second harvest beans (0.3% or 3,503 t) and soybeans (0.2% or 390,204 t).
Mato Grosso leads as the largest national grain producer, with a 32.4% share, followed by Paraná (13.4%), Goiás (11.4%), Rio Grande do Sul (9.5%), Mato Grosso do Sul (7.5%), and Minas Gerais (5.6%), which together account for 79.8% of the total. In terms of the share of Brazilian regions, the picture is as follows: Midwest (51.5%), South (25.1%), Southeast (8.9%), Northeast (8.2%), and North (6.3%).
