Regional agricultural and fisheries development

Overview

Agricultural and productive activities in Brazil and Portugal continue to focus on regional development, infrastructure, and specialized industry promotion through various fairs and technical programs.

In Brazil, agricultural festivals in Rio de Janeiro state are driving local economic activity. The 41st ExpoAgro in São Francisco de Itabapoana recently concluded, having featured over 30 activities including equestrian trials and livestock exhibitions. In Quissamã, the inaugural Quissamã Agro Fest was scheduled for September 24 to 27 at the Renato Queirós Carneiro da Silva Exhibition Park, marking the return of rodeo competitions after a 12-year hiatus.

The 1st Expo Rural de Maricá, held from September 17 to 27 at the Espraiado Exhibition Park, concluded with significant economic and social impact. Organized by the Maricá Tourism and Culture Company (MARÉ), the free event drew over 50,000 attendees and featured rodeos, animal displays, and musical performances, including artist Natanzinho Lima. Antonio Grassi, president of MARÉ, noted the event’s success and its potential to become a permanent annual fixture.

Data from MARÉ indicates the exhibition generated approximately R$ 60 million for the local economy, with over R$ 39 million spent directly at the event and nearly R$ 21 million injected into other municipal sectors such as food, lodging, and transportation. The hospitality sector experienced a notable boost, as average hotel occupancy rose from 63% to 72.5%. Public satisfaction was high, with a 96% positive rating and a Net Promoter Score (NPS) of 77, placing the event in the ‘Zone of Excellence’.

Other regional activities include climate change adaptation efforts in Goianá, upcoming fairs in Maranhão, Pernambuco, Ceará, and Paraíba, and the Bahiater program in Bahia. In Portugal, regional fairs like the Feira da Luz/EXPOMOR and the FRIMOR National Onion Fair remain central to local production.
