Minas Gerais agricultural and economic developments

Overview

The agricultural and economic landscape in Minas Gerais has shown both sector-specific challenges and efforts toward professional development. Initially, the swine industry faced significant economic pressure as an excess of supply caused prices to drop 32% to R$ 5.80 per kilogram, falling below the estimated production cost of R$ 6.00.

Subsequent developments focused on producer engagement and safety. The Federation of Agriculture and Livestock of the State of Minas Gerais (Faemg) completed the ‘Agro em Ação 2026’ initiative, which mobilized over 8,000 rural producers and leaders to analyze the agricultural landscape. Additionally, Senar Minas introduced training programs for the safe maintenance of agricultural machinery, including pilot programs focused on risk identification and lockout procedures to comply with safety standards.
