Agribusiness sector experiences a 2.8% decline in May.

After two consecutive increases, the volume of agribusiness production shrank by -2.8% in May compared to the same month in 2025. In the year-to-date figures, there was a slight decline of -0.1%. The data comes from the Agribusiness Production Index (PIMAgro) of FGVAgro. The decline in the sector in May was practically generalized, except for the Biofuels and Tobacco sectors, both in the Non-Food Products segment, which managed to register expansions of 9.6% and 0.8%, respectively. Within the Food and Beverage segment, the decline was widespread, with reductions in the production of Plant and Animal Origin Foods, as well as Alcoholic and Non-Alcoholic Beverages. In future releases, FGV Agro emphasizes that it is necessary to observe whether the contraction in agribusiness production in May is an outlier or a reversal of the resilience that the sector had been showing over the last few months.
