Brazilian Agribusiness Could Generate R$ 3.5 Billion from Carbon Credits by 2035
Brazil's agribusiness sector has the potential to create 314.3 million carbon credits between 2025 and 2035, contingent upon governmental regulations and project certifications. This development could open new revenue streams for producers and cooperatives, but hinges on the implementation of robust regulatory frameworks.

A study estimates that Brazil's agribusiness could generate 314.3 million carbon credits from 2025 to 2035, potentially yielding R$ 3.5 billion in international markets, particularly within the aviation sector under the CORSIA agreement. However, effective realization of this potential depends on the government's regulatory approval and established methodologies for carbon credit certification.
The study identifies three key areas for emissions reduction: recovery of degraded lands, improved agricultural practices, and management of animal waste to reduce methane emissions. Although substantial opportunities exist, significant regulatory hurdles remain, including the need for methodologies that prevent double counting and ensure environmental integrity. Without a clear regulatory framework, the anticipated economic benefits cannot be safely transacted internationally.
