Latin America

POLY4 crop science programme carries out trials in Latin America including Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Mexico.

Brazil

Agricultural driver

The distribution of unexploited agricultural land around the world is extremely uneven, with the Latin American region – specifically Brazil and Argentina – standing out as having considerable future potential.

Forecast

Brazil will become the single most important soybean producer by 2025 with production estimated to reach 135 million tonnes.

Market growth

Sugarcane and cotton continue to be a source of growth for Brazilian agriculture through improved yields and expanded area. The total crop area is forecast to increase by 24%, with soybeans driving most of this expansion.
