Brazil: Agricultural Biotechnology Annual
Brazil is the second-largest producer of biotech crops in the world, with 131 events approved for plants. For the 2024/2025 crop season, FAS Brasilia forecasts 68.5 million hectares planted with GE traits. Adoption rates for soybeans and cotton reached 99 percent and for corn, 95 percent. The biotechnology sector has experienced no significant change to date. Continued use of biotechnology seeds has been a major contributor to yield growth in Brazil since its adoption. In addition to GE plants, this report provides updates on several aspects of these new technologies.
