Bean production in Goiás continues at a positive pace and is expected to reach, in the 2024/2025 harvest, the best result since the 2020/2021 cycle. According to an analysis by the Agricultural Market Intelligence of the Secretariat of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply of Goiás (Seapa), based on data from the National Supply Company (Conab), the estimate is that the state will produce 303.1 thousand tons of the grain, a result driven by a significant increase in the second harvest and the adoption of technologies and good agricultural practices in the field.
With this performance, Goiás remains the fourth largest bean producer in the country and the second with the highest average crop yield (2.5 tons/ha), behind only the Federal District.
"Beans are an essential staple on Brazilian tables, and Goiás has distinguished itself for its productivity and quality, playing a leading role in all stages of production. This reflects the dedication of our producers, the sanitary efficiency of our crops, and the technical and institutional support provided by the Government of Goiás," says Pedro Leonardo Rezende, Secretary of Agriculture, Livestock, and Supply.
Regional highlights
Goiás also ranks second nationally in the production of colored beans, with 280.6 thousand tons expected, an increase of 5.4% compared to the previous season.
The municipality of Cristalina leads the state rankings, with 15.71 TP4T of total production (55.7 thousand tons in 2023), and is also the fifth-largest producing municipality in Brazil. Other municipalities in Goiás also stand out in national productivity. In the first harvest, Flores de Goiás and Cabeceiras occupy first and second places, respectively. Formosa and Planaltina lead the rankings in the second harvest, and in the third harvest, Silvânia and Catalão are the outstanding municipalities in the 2024/25 harvest.
Exports on the rise
The international market also confirms the crop's positive momentum. In 2024, Goiás recorded its second-best performance in history, totaling 5,700 tons shipped to 12 destinations and revenue of US$1,500,000.
In 2025, shipments will continue to rise, solidifying Brazil and Goiás as global leaders in bean production. At the same time, Brazilian imports remain on a downward trend, strengthening Brazil's production capacity and the sector's competitiveness in the global market.
