Brazil continues to focus on regional economic and agribusiness development, emphasizing innovation and strategic national reforms. Recent discussions at the 25th Abag Congress in São Paulo have centered on the potential economic impact of tax reforms. Vice President Geraldo Alckmin noted that unifying five major taxes could potentially increase the GDP by 12%, investments by 14%, and exports by 17% over the next 15 years.

To address climate-related risks, Agriculture Minister André de Paula announced that a multisectoral working group will present proposals to mitigate the impacts of extreme weather, specifically the El Niño phenomenon, on the agricultural sector. These measures are intended to provide financial and technical assistance to both family and corporate farming.

During the same congress, the Associação Brasileira do Agronegócio (Abag) presented a ‘Strategic Agenda for the Agroindustry’ to presidential candidates. This document contains over 80 priority factors designed to ensure long-term policy stability, legal security, and improved integration between agribusiness and industry. Abag President Ingo Plöger emphasized the necessity of a unified strategy that integrates agribusiness with industrial growth, advocating for a long-term vision rather than relying solely on annual harvest plans. The agenda specifically highlights challenges such as high interest rates affecting credit access, rural insurance, and financing conditions, while calling for increased investment in science, technology, and infrastructure to maintain Brazil’s leadership in the global bioeconomy.
