Brazilian agribusiness is, today, one of the world’s greatest success stories when it comes to combining productivity with preservation. Recently, a detailed study conducted by Prof. Dr. Marcos Fava Neves and his team at Harven Agribusiness School brought data that reinforces this leadership position.
For Amart Shipping, understanding these indicators is essential, as they explain why Brazil is a strategic and reliable partner for the world.
Agribusiness sustains the Brazilian economy
The 2025 figures leave no doubt about the sector’s relevance. Brazil recorded a significant trade surplus of US$ 68.3 billion. However, the most striking data appears when we analyze the scenario without agribusiness: without it, the national result would be a deficit of US$ 80.8 billion.
This gap shows that agribusiness ensures the economic stability necessary for all other sectors to operate and grow.
Production with preservation
One of the biggest myths about agricultural expansion is that it necessarily depends on deforestation. Harven School’s indicators show otherwise:
Preservation: About 65.6% of Brazil’s territory is allocated to the preservation of native vegetation.
Verticalization: Since the 1980s, Brazilian agricultural production has grown by more than 500%. This leap did not come from proportionally expanding new areas, but from technology, science, and productivity gains per hectare.
Brazil has learned to “verticalize” its production, using precision agriculture to extract maximum potential from the soil with minimal impact.
Renewable energy and innovation in the field
While the world races to decarbonize its economies, Brazil is already ahead. The global average use of renewable energy is around 18%. In Brazil, this number reaches an impressive 48%.
This clean energy is supported by practices that have become standard in Brazilian agriculture, such as:
- No-till farming: a technique that prevents erosion and keeps carbon in the soil;
- Biological inputs: the gradual replacement of chemical pesticides with biological solutions;
- Integrated production systems: Crop-Livestock-Forest Integration, which optimizes land use and improves animal welfare.
Commitment to the future
The data presented by Prof. Marcos Fava Neves reinforces that, in Brazil, production and sustainability go hand in hand. This efficiency allows the country to continue feeding a growing global population while maintaining environmental responsibility and technical rigor.
At Amart Shipping, we closely follow this evolution and actively participate in a system that combines Brazilian innovation with a global commitment to a greener future.
