Agribusiness GDP will grow by 12% in 2025.

The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of Brazilian agribusiness, calculated by Cepea (Center for Advanced Studies in Applied Economics) of Esalq/USP, in partnership with CNA (Brazilian Confederation of Agriculture and Livestock), showed excellent performance in 2025 – growth over the previous year was 12.20%. According to Cepea/CNA, the agribusiness GDP reached R$ 3.20 trillion, with approximately R$ 2.06 trillion in the agricultural sector and R$ 1.14 trillion in the livestock sector, at fourth-quarter prices. With this result, agribusiness's share of the Brazilian economy reached 25.13% in 2025, up from 22.9% in 2024. Researchers at Cepea/CNA indicate that the sector's strong growth throughout 2025 reflected the continuation of the expansion trend that began in the second half of 2024 and was mainly sustained by the growth in national agricultural production, which also boosted agricultural services. As a result, the aggregate volume of agribusiness (GDP-volume) increased by 6.76%. Despite the excellent production results and the consequent increase in supply, there was also an increase in real prices, which reinforced the sector's GDP growth. Cepea researchers highlight that the annual result remained positive, although the pace of expansion lost momentum throughout the quarters of 2025, especially in the face of successive price declines. Among the segments, in the accumulated figures for 2025, the GDP of inputs grew by 5.37%, driven by agricultural inputs, especially fertilizers, pesticides, and machinery, while livestock-based inputs declined, influenced by the fall in the value of feed industry production. In the primary segment, growth was significant (17.06%), sustained both by increased agricultural production, particularly corn and coffee, and by a combination of higher prices and increased livestock production. In agribusiness, performance was heterogeneous: agricultural-based activities declined by 3.33%, pressured by falling industrial prices, while livestock-based activities advanced by 36.54%, influenced by price increases and production expansion. Agro-services also grew significantly (13.76%), mainly reflecting the dynamism of livestock farming.
