Brazil’s AgroTech Landscape: Scale and Growth
Brazil is a global leader in AgroTech, combining vast natural resources, productivity gains, and strong export infrastructure. Agribusiness represents nearly 25% of Brazil’s GDP and almost 50% of national exports.
- Agribusiness exports reached USD 166 billion in 2024, led by soybeans, beef, corn, sugar, and coffee
- Brazil is the largest exporter of soybeans and beef worldwide, and among the top in poultry, corn, and coffee
- Productivity has risen sharply due to precision agriculture, biotech seeds, and digital platforms
- LATAM as a whole supplies about 16% of global agrifood exports, with Brazil accounting for the lion’s share
This scale and efficiency make Brazil’s agribusiness indispensable for global food security.
Market Leaders and Innovators
Several Brazilian champions are shaping the future of agribusiness both domestically and internationally:
- JBS S.A. (B3: JBSS3; NYSE: JBS): one of the world’s largest food companies, with revenues of ~USD 77 billion in 2024; dual-listed on B3 and NYSE (June 2025)
- BrasilAgro (NYSE: LND): focused on farmland acquisition and agricultural production, with a market cap of ~USD 395 million (2025)
- Raízen Energia (B3: RAIZ4): integrated energy and biofuels leader, also among Brazil’s top sugar producers
- BRF / Marfrig (MBRF Global Foods): combined entity with revenues exceeding R$152 billion (2025), focused on global protein and food production
Beyond these giants, a growing cluster of AgroTech startups is leveraging IoT, AI, drones, and data platforms to drive precision farming and sustainability.
Key Drivers of Growth
The expansion of agribusiness in Brazil and LatAm is fueled by several structural factors:
- Global demand for food: rising populations and income growth in Asia and Africa
- Sustainability & ESG: pressure to adopt low-carbon and deforestation-free supply chains
- Technology adoption: precision farming, satellite imaging, and biotechnology driving yields
- Trade diversification: expansion of export markets beyond China to Europe, Middle East, and Asia
- Capital markets: increased international investor appetite for resilient sectors with stable cash flows
Challenges and Next Frontiers
Despite its strength, the sector faces key challenges that will shape its future:
- Climate change: droughts, floods, and shifting weather patterns impact production cycles
- Environmental scrutiny: global markets demand deforestation-free and traceable supply chains
- Infrastructure bottlenecks: ports, roads, and logistics remain under pressure from export volumes
- Market volatility: global commodity prices and protectionist trade measures can disrupt margins
- Access to capital: agritech and mid-market producers need funding to scale internationally
Companies that master sustainable practices, technology integration, and global branding will be the next champions of Brazilian agribusiness.
Why This Matters
AgroTech in Brazil and LatAm is not just about commodities — it is a strategic global sector that underpins food security and sustainability. For investors and corporates, it offers:
- Access to resilient cash flows from a global demand-driven industry
- Exposure to sustainability and ESG leadership through biofuels, low-carbon proteins, and agtech
- Opportunities to back global category leaders in food, energy, and agricultural exports
Conclusion
All signs suggest that Brazilian AgroTech is entering a new phase of international relevance, where global capital aligns with the ambitions of local champions striving to lead in food production, sustainability, and innovation.
