In 2023, Brazil's pulses production was approximately 2.8 million metric tons. Forecasts from 2024 onwards indicate a steady decline in production, from 2.77 million metric tons in 2024 to 2.67 million metric tons by 2028. This represents an average annual decrease (CAGR) over the period of approximately 0.9% per year.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Diversification of pulse crops and introduction of high-yield, resilient varieties to potentially reverse declining trends.
- Policy changes or incentives aimed at increasing sustainable agricultural practices, impacting production volumes.
- Global demand for pulses, influenced by shifts towards plant-based diets, potentially increasing future production incentives.
