Brazilian rice exports to Central America are keeping expectations high and are a formidable incentive for southern Brazilian states’ farmers to prepare for another crop year, according to Fedearroz, the industry’s strong lobby.
The first estimate for the coming 2024/25 grains crop in Brazil indicates a total production of some 322,47 million tons, according to Conab, the country's national supply corporation. If finally confirmed this would represent another record production, with a 8,3% increase over the previous 2023/24 harvest, equivalent to 24,6 million tons.
