Agribusiness Vertical
The transforming effect of the agricultural revolution in the last 40 years is certainly the most important fact in the recent Brazilian economic history and keeps on opening perspectives for the country’s future development. Agribusiness has been acknowledged as crucial to Brazilian economic growth. In 2019, the sum of goods and services generated in agribusiness reached R$ 1.55 trillion or 21.4% of Brazilian GDP. Among the segments, the agricultural industry holds the largest portion, corresponding to 68% of this amount (R$ 1.06 trillion), livestock corresponds to 32%, or R$ 494.8 billion.
The gross production value (GPV) of agriculture reached R$ 651.5 billion in 2019, with R$ 400.7 billion from agricultural production and R$ 250.8 billion from the livestock industry. The most recent estimates and projections indicate that the GPV in 2020 is expected to reach R$728.68 billion – R$ 457.08 billion in agriculture and R$ 271.6 in the livestock industry – 11.8% increase against that of 2019.
