Finally, we conclude some reasons why to invest in soybean crops in Brazil. Large expansions in Brazil in soybean production in new lands areas, Brazil is an example where both factors of production are expanding, as new technologies allow the production area and yield to grow. The world’s annual soybean trade is projected to increase by 35.7 million tons (23.5 percent) during the projection period, reaching 187 million tons by 2029/30. Brazil’s soybean exports are projected to rise 21.8...

Established companies should not undertake business-model innovation lightly. They can often create new products that disrupt competitors without fundamentally changing their own business model. Procter & Gamble, for example, developed a number of what it calls “disruptive market innovations” with such products as the Swiffer disposable mop and duster and Febreze, a new kind of air freshener. Both innovations built on P&G’s existing business model and its established dominance in...

Though Mato Grosso has been the focus of crop expansion in Brazil over the past few decades, new regions closer to the coasts hold potential. Large-scale producers in Mato Grosso, seeing little room for expansion in the state, are increasingly purchasing land in Piaui, Maranhao, and Tocantins. These states are closer to ports and land is generally priced lower than in Mato Grosso. However, due to the drier climate, typically only one crop is harvested in these arese each year, compared to two...

Brazil is forecast to overtake the United States as the leading soybean producer in the world during the 2019/20 season. Post revised up forecast for 2019/20 soybean planted area to 36.8 million hectares. The revision is based on the market exuberance over soybean prices in the last several months. Production is forecast at 123.5 million metric tons (mmt) based on trend yields. The delayed pace of planting should not significantly impact the harvest timeline, with the first soybeans harvested...
