São Paulo starts 2026 with a $1.3 billion agribusiness surplus, reclaiming export leadership from just 3% of Brazil's territory.
The episode begins by highlighting São Paulo's agribusiness export leadership in January 2026, with a $1.3 billion surplus driven by alcohol-based juice, forest products, meats, juices, and coffee. China remains the top destination, followed by the EU and US. It then shifts to Rio Grande do Sul, where exports totaled $4.5 billion in Q4 2025, though facing a 6.2% decline due to lower soy supply. Secretary Edilson Brum discusses challenges from the China-US trade war and climate change, while noting growth in the meat and smoke sectors. Minas Gerais is featured for its high-value exports, averaging $1,600 per ton, led by coffee and meats. A weather forecast segment details rainfall across Brazil, leading into a report on how heavy rains in northern Minas Gerais and Goiás are delaying corn planting and threatening bean harvests due to waterlogged soils. The episode then covers Paraná, where ports saw a 364% increase in barley imports and 383% in malt imports, driven by local brewery demand. It concludes with soybean price quotes across regions like Maranhão, Bahia, and Goiás, and promotes the Agrolink app for real-time updates.
