The site above shows Brazilian estimates of cereals harvest for 2013. Data from IBGE.

Estimate of April 2013 versus 2012 output

In 2012 however, the agroindustry fell 1.6 per cent (contractions in livestock - poultry, cattle, pig, hog - as well as in agriculture - orange and tobacco) [unfortunately the latter is still included as a commodity to be evaluated!!!].
