Why the agricultural sector?

Brazil is recognized worldwide for its robust agriculture, playing a crucial role in the global economy as one of the largest food producers and exporters. In the first half of 2024, the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of Brazilian agribusiness reached US$500 billion, with US$348 billion coming from the agricultural sector and US$151.96 billion from the livestock sector.

The 2023/2024 harvest consolidated the strength of the sector, registering an estimated production of 298.41 million tons of grains. In addition, last year the Ministry of Agriculture launched the largest Crop Plan in history, with robust investments to strengthen the agricultural sector.

The future is promising: it is estimated that, in the next ten years, grain production in Brazil will grow 27%, reaching 379 million tons. These numbers highlight Brazil as a strategic market for international investments and partnerships. Technological innovation is essential to overcome them, and the protection of intellectual property plays a strategic role in this scenario.
