Acre stakeholders seek dialogue with Governor Mailza Assis

In Acre, Brazil, local stakeholders are engaging with Governor Mailza Assis regarding regional development. During a meeting at Parque das Acácias in Rio Branco, the State Secretary of Agriculture, Temyllis Lima da Silva, highlighted government investments in mechanized areas and productive chains such as coffee and cocoa.

Rural producers, including honey producer Maria Paulino da Silva, used the forum to request continued attention to rural infrastructure, specifically the maintenance of access roads (ramais) to ensure transportability during the rainy season.

Separately, the production team of the feature film ‘A Estirada’ issued an open letter following the conclusion of filming in Vale do Juruá. Director Sérgio de Carvalho and his team requested a meeting with the Governor to discuss the project’s impact. The filmmakers emphasized the economic multiplier effect of the audiovisual sector on local hotels, transport, and food services, advocating for culture to be treated as a strategic policy for economic development in the state.
