The Gross Value of Agricultural Production (VBP) in 2020 is 11,5% higher than in 2019, jumping from R$723,4 billion to R$806,6 billion. The result was obtained from updates to the production survey and prices of agricultural products surveyed in September.
In five years, this indicator increased by R$100 billion. “Without a doubt, these results brought a considerable increase in income in the main regions of the interior of the country. Crop revenue increased by 15%, reaching R$543 billion and livestock, by 4,9%, reaching R$263,6 billion”, assesses José Garcia Gasques, general coordinator of Policy Assessment and Information at the Agricultural Policy Secretariat, of the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply.
Soy, cattle, corn and coffee were mainly responsible for these agricultural results.
In addition to these products, other crops performed well this year, such as peanuts (28,5%), rice (26,2%), cocoa (18,7%), coffee (42,1%), beans (13,4 %), castor beans (29,6%), corn (16%), soybeans (30,3%), wheat (58%). Among the products that did not perform favorably, bananas, potatoes, tomatoes, grapes and chicken stand out.
Agricultural prices have been favorable to producers this year, according to research carried out by SPA. “In addition to prices, the record grain harvest and favorable international trade create a scenario of good financial results”, highlights Gasques. To illustrate, the study coordinator cites price increases for main products such as bananas (17,6% real increase compared to 2019), Arabica coffee (15,8%), beans (17,4%), corn (16,2%), soybeans (21,8%), wheat (21%), cattle (16,4%) and pigs (10,5%).
Another important aspect highlighted by the research are the results of corn and soybeans, which allowed a strong recovery in the Matopiba region, - an area that comprises the Cerrado biome in the states of Maranhão, Tocantins, Piauí and Bahia - which last year was greatly affected by drought in some locations. Between 2019 and this year, there was a strong increase in the VBP in this region.
The states that drive the values of Brazilian agricultural production are Mato Grosso (R$ 145,8 billion), Paraná (R$ 103,2 billion) and São Paulo (R$ 97,6 billion).
The VBP shows the evolution of crop and livestock performance throughout the year and corresponds to the gross revenue within the establishment. It is calculated based on the production of agricultural crops and livestock and the prices received by producers in the country's main markets.
