Catastrophic Floods in Southern Brazil: Implications for Agricultural Sector

Unprecedented flooding in May has severely affected the agricultural sector in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil’s southernmost state and a major agribusiness zone. Record high rainfall has affected more than 90% of the state—an area comparable to the United Kingdom—resulting in at least 173 deaths, about 1,000 residents injured, and nearly 600,000 people displaced. More than 2 million people have been directly affected by the ongoing climate crisis in Rio Grande do Sul.

Abstract

Unprecedented flooding in May has severely affected the agricultural sector in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil’s southernmost state and a major agribusiness zone. Record high rainfall has affected more than 90% of the state—an area comparable to the United Kingdom—resulting in at least 173 deaths, about 1,000 residents injured, and nearly 600,000 people displaced. More than 2 million people have been directly affected by the ongoing climate crisis in Rio Grande do Sul.
