Rio Grande do Sul economic and agricultural support

Overview

Efforts to bolster the economy of Rio Grande do Sul have focused on both agricultural protection and industrial expansion. In late September 2026, Sicredi announced an R$ 8 million investment in the ‘Sistema Antigranizo’ project. This initiative, supported by Fundovitis, aims to mitigate hail damage to viticulture and fruit growing through the acquisition of automated ground-based generators.

By late October 2026, support shifted toward the industrial sector as ApexBrasil mobilized resources to assist small and medium-sized industries in entering European Union markets. This program provides financial aid of up to R$ 40,000 per company to help businesses overcome technical barriers, such as environmental and sanitary certifications, following the progress of the Mercosur-European Union Agreement.
