The increase in agribusiness was driven by bumper crops and an exchange rate that favored exports, according to a CNA report.
The services and supplies segments grew by 4.76 percent and 1.69 percent respectively while agro-industry dipped 0.76 percent amid the novel coronavirus pandemic.
"On the supply side, the massive grain harvest has guaranteed meeting the growing international demand for Brazilian agro-industrial products, also driven by the devaluation of the real against the dollar," the CNA said.
In June, Brazil's agribusiness GDP grew 1.31 percent, marking the sixth monthly growth in a row.
