Eggs

One in five of São Paulo’s eggs comes from Bastos

Fig. 071 São Paulo state (SP) EPSG:4674 Source: IBGE, CP2B (Unicamp)

São Paulo produced 1.27 billion dozen hen eggs in 2024, 52% more than in 2008 and 23.6% of Brazil’s total. Bastos alone, in the Marília region, produced 270 million dozen, one in five of the state’s eggs. With Tupã and its neighbours, the Marília region accounts for 42% of production, and the ten largest municipalities for 54%. Even so, 540 municipalities report some production, and eggs appear across almost the whole map; only Greater São Paulo and the coast lack data. Laying-hen manure is also a residue: by the CP2B method it could yield 296,000 m³ of biomethane a day across the state, 62,600 of them in Bastos. Quail eggs went the other way, falling from 82.8 to 37.3 million dozen. First plate of the collection “Milk, eggs, honey and fish”.

Milk

Almost everywhere, at the lowest volume on record

Fig. 072 São Paulo state (SP) EPSG:4674 Source: IBGE, CP2B (Unicamp)

São Paulo produced 1.51 billion litres of cow’s milk in 2024, the lowest volume since 2008. The peak came in 2015, at 1.77 billion; since then production has fallen by 15%, while Brazil’s rose to 35.7 billion litres. The state’s share went from 5.8% in 2008 to 4.2%. Milk is the most widespread animal product in the state: 603 of the 645 municipalities report some, and the ten largest add up to only 18%. Tapiratiba, in the north-east, leads with 41.5 million litres, 2.8% of the total, followed by Araras, Descalvado and Cunha. The darkest tones appear in the west, the north-east and the Paraíba valley, where Cunha and São Luiz do Paraitinga are among the six largest. The Campinas and São José dos Campos regions produce a third of the state’s milk. Second plate of the collection “Milk, eggs, honey and fish”.

Honey

More than tripled in sixteen years

Fig. 073 São Paulo state (SP) EPSG:4674 Source: IBGE

São Paulo produced 6,800 tonnes of honey in 2024, 3.3 times what it produced in 2008. Production grew in almost every year and jumped by 23% from 2023 to 2024 alone. In Brazil the growth was smaller, from 37,800 to 67,300 tonnes, and the state’s share almost doubled, from 5.4% to 10.1%. Honey is concentrated in the centre-south of the state, around Botucatu: the Bauru intermediate region produces 43% of the total. Itatinga, with 750 tonnes, and Botucatu, with 725, add up to 22% of the state’s honey; Cabrália Paulista, Agudos and Capão Bonito follow, and the ten largest produce 49%. The number of producing municipalities is the same in both years, 408: the growth came from those already producing. The west, by contrast, barely shows.

Tilapia

Almost every farmed fish in the state is tilapia

Fig. 074 São Paulo state (SP) EPSG:4674 Source: IBGE, MapBiomas

São Paulo farmed 67,000 tonnes of tilapia in 2024, 2.8 times the volume of 2013, the first year of the Municipal Livestock Survey’s aquaculture series. Tilapia is 95% of all fish farmed in the state. Brazil grew even faster, from 169,000 to 499,000 tonnes, and the state’s share stood at 13.4%. Farming is concentrated: 134 municipalities report production, and the ten largest account for 72%. The largest sit on the reservoirs of the Grande and Paraná rivers. Rifaina, on the border with Minas Gerais, leads with 10,000 tonnes, followed by Rubinéia, Santa Clara d'Oeste, Panorama and Riolândia. The São José do Rio Preto region, in the north-west, produces 42% of the total on its own. On the map, MapBiomas water shows the rivers and reservoirs, and hatching marks the 476 municipalities with no reported production. Fourth plate of the collection “Milk, eggs, honey and fish”.

The value of animal products

Milk is everywhere; the money is in eggs

Fig. 075 São Paulo state (SP) EPSG:4674 Source: IBGE

Milk, eggs, honey, silkworm cocoons and farmed fish were worth R$ 12.0 billion in São Paulo in 2024, according to the Municipal Livestock Survey. Eggs accounted for 61% of that value (R$ 7.3 billion), milk for 33% (R$ 3.9 billion), aquaculture for 6% and honey for less than 1%. On the map, however, the colour seen most is milk’s: it is the most valuable product in 423 municipalities, against 139 for eggs, 29 for aquaculture and 22 for honey. The egg money is concentrated in a few hubs. Bastos alone adds up to R$ 1.26 billion, 10% of the state, followed by Tupã, Mirassolândia and Itirapina; in the last two, eggs are more than 98% of the value. The ten largest municipalities account for 31% of the total. The survey does not include meat: the value of slaughtered animals is left out. Fifth and last plate of the collection “Milk, eggs, honey and fish”.
