More than 40,000 new agribusiness-related companies were opened in the twelve months leading up to April.

Brazil registered the opening of more than 41,000 new companies in the agribusiness sector between April 2025 and the same month of this year, currently representing approximately 909,800 active units. This is according to the IPC Maps survey, based on data from the CNAE (National Classification of Economic Activities) of the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE). According to Marcos Pazzini, head of IPC Maps, although the agribusiness growth is led by a wide margin by the Southeast region, which alone concentrates 773,400 companies, it is worth highlighting the second-place position maintained by the Central-West region in the same period, with 46,300 establishments. Following closely is the South with 43,900 units, followed by the Northeast, responsible for 31,200, and the North, with 14,800 companies. Confirming the figures above, the largest agricultural markets are, in descending order, the states of São Paulo, Minas Gerais, Paraná, Mato Grosso, Goiás, Rio Grande do Sul, and Mato Grosso do Sul. The survey also points to the legal nature of the businesses. Approximately 90,151 units in the segment are Individual Microentrepreneurs (MEIs), while the others, which tend to generate more jobs, together total 819,746 CNPJs (Brazilian tax identification numbers).
