In Farming Simulator 25, you can make money by selling raw ingredients in Catuaí, the Brazilian-inspired map included in the Beans & Alpacas DLC. However, the strongest returns really come from turning crops into finished goods. Read on to check out this Farming Simulator 25 money-making guide for Catuaí, where we compare ten of the most profitable ways to make money and build a stronger, more efficient farm today!

Top 10 Best Money-Making Methods for Catuaí in Farming Simulator 25

First, note that this ranking uses two important metrics: Profit/Month and Profitability %. These methods are ranked primarily by estimated monthly profit, while profitability percentages show how efficiently each production chain turns ingredients into more valuable products. The profitability calculation is:

• (Total Output Value − Total Input Cost) ÷ Total Input Cost × 100

For example, if a factory uses $100 worth of ingredients and produces $200 worth of goods, its profit against input costs is 100%. Below, the monthly profit figures also account for the production building’s monthly operating costs, expressed as per-cycle profit at its modeled production capacity. With that, the values below don’t account for factors such as transportation costs, equipment investments, building purchases, or production downtime.

10. Produce Fried Banana Boxes with Sunflower Oil

• Estimated monthly profit: $15,260.16
• Profitability: 85%
• Profit per production cycle: $63.58

Fried Banana Boxes are a reliable way to monetize Catuaí's year-round banana production. The Canning Factory offers three oil variations: Sunflower Oil, Olive Oil, and Canola Oil. The Sunflower Oil recipe produces 22 Fried Banana Boxes per cycle and generates approximately $15,260 in monthly profit.

• How to Make: Process Bananas at the Banana Washing Station to obtain Banana Boxes. Supply the Canning Factory with 15 Banana Boxes and 5 units of Sunflower Oil for each production cycle.

9. Produce Fried Banana Boxes with Olive Oil

• Estimated monthly profit: $15,475.20
• Profitability: 88%
• Profit per production cycle: $128.96

Olive Oil offers the best monthly profit among the three Fried Banana Box recipes available in the Farming Simulator 25 Catuaí map. Although its ingredient costs are higher than the Sunflower Oil alternative, the larger production batch often generates more revenue per cycle.

• How to Make: Supply the Canning Factory with 30 Banana Boxes and 7 units of Olive Oil per production cycle. Harvest Bananas, use the Banana Washing Station to produce the boxes, and source Olive Oil from the appropriate production or purchasing route.

8. Manufacture Long Planks at the Sawmill

• Estimated monthly profit: $15,584.81
• Profitability: 51%
• Profit per production cycle: $649.37

The Sawmill offers an attractive alternative for players who prefer timber production over crop cultivation. Its Long Planks recipe generates substantial monthly earnings and also produces Wood Chips as a secondary output.

• How to Make: Supply the Sawmill with 416 units of Wood per production cycle. The recipe produces 275 Long Planks and 120 Wood Chips, both of which can be sold or directed toward other production chains.

7. Produce Alpaca Plush at the Tailor Shop

• Estimated monthly profit: $16,103.62
• Profitability: 98%
• Profit per production cycle: $55.92

Alpaca Plush is one of the strongest animal-related production investments on Catuaí. Unlike the furniture routes, which require Planks alongside alpaca materials, this recipe instead uses Alpaca Wool as its primary ingredient.

• How to Make: Raise Alpacas and collect their fleece. Process the fleece at the Spinnery to produce Alpaca Wool, then deliver 8 units of Alpaca Wool per production cycle to the Tailor Shop to manufacture 6 Alpaca Plush products.

6. Produce Banana Jam at the Canning Factory

• Estimated monthly profit: $16,226.40
• Profitability: 87%
• Profit per production cycle: $27.04

Banana Jam is another excellent option for farms specializing in banana plantations. Its two-ingredient recipe is relatively straightforward, especially compared with the Bakery's more demanding Banana Cakes production chain.

• How to Make: Process harvested Bananas at the Banana Washing Station to obtain Banana Boxes. Supply the Canning Factory with 8 Banana Boxes and 5 units of Sugar per production cycle to produce 10 Banana Jam.

5. Manufacture Wood Beams at the Sawmill

• Estimated monthly profit: $17,983.46
• Profitability: 59%
• Profit per production cycle: $749.31

Wood Beams offer another compelling reason to establish a timber operation. As with producing Long Planks, this recipe's secondary Wood Chips output further increases the total value generated per production cycle.

• How to Make: Deliver 416 units of Wood to the Sawmill. Each production cycle produces 183 Wood Beams and 150 Wood Chips. Sell both products or reserve the chips for other production recipes.

4. Manufacture Banana Snacks at the Canning Factory

• Estimated monthly profit: $18,352.32
• Profitability: 124%
• Profit per production cycle: $50.98

Banana Snacks are arguably one of the most efficient food-processing money-making methods in Catuaí. This recipe combines readily available Banana Boxes and Sugar, yielding a profitability percentage higher than most other production chains on the Farming Simulator 25 map.

• How to Make: Harvest Bananas and process them at the Banana Washing Station. Then supply the Canning Factory with 12 Banana Boxes and 4 units of Sugar per production cycle to produce 16 Banana Snacks.

3. Process Coffee Cherries into Coffee Bags

• Estimated monthly profit: $19,160.28
• Profitability: 62%
• Profit per production cycle: $53.22

Coffee processing is one of Catuaí's most dependable large-scale production opportunities. Although the Roastery and Coffee Shop offer additional ways to process the harvest, the initial Coffee Processing facility can still generate substantial monthly income.

• How to Make: Establish coffee plantations, harvest ripe Coffee Cherries using specialized machinery, and deliver approximately 33 units per production cycle to the Coffee Processing Plant. The factory produces 20 Coffee Bags for each operation.

2. Manufacture Resin at the Sawmill

• Estimated monthly profit: $22,557.12
• Profitability: 31%
• Profit per production cycle: $187.98

The Resin production chain is an excellent option for players looking to maximize their timber operation's monthly earnings. Although its profitability percentage is lower than several banana and alpaca recipes, its significant production value makes it the second-highest monthly earner on the Catuaí map, assuming the facility runs at peak efficiency.

• How to Make: Supply the Sawmill with 200 units of Wood per production cycle. The recipe produces 19 units of Resin alongside 40 Wood Chips, providing two products from a single input resource.

1. Make Tiramisu at the Bakery

• Estimated monthly profit: $24,060.00
• Profitability: 56%
• Profit per production cycle: $50.13

Tiramisu ranks as the top money-making method on the Farming Simulator 25 Catuaí map, typically delivering the highest estimated monthly profit among production methods. While its profitability percentage isn’t the highest, its large production capacity and valuable finished product make it an excellent long-term investment.

• How to Make: Supply the Bakery with 18 units of Flour, 5 units of Eggs, and 2 units of Packed Coffee per production cycle. The recipe yields 5 Tiramisu products from these ingredients.
