On August 29, agribusiness leaders will present, in an event at the CNA, the document “The Future is Agro 2018-2030”, with proposals from the sector for candidates for the Presidency of the Republic. According to the coordinator of the initiative, the former Minister of Agriculture, Roberto Rodrigues, the document is a strategic plan for Brazil to transform, within a period of ten to fifteen years, into the world champion of food security and consequently peace . “It’s not a government plan, it’s a state program proposal.”
According to Rodrigues, the document is anchored in estimates by major agencies such as the USDA and OECD, which support the need to increase global food production by at least 20% by 2026/27 to meet global demand. “And Brazil is reserved the challenge, the responsibility to increase its agricultural production by 40%”, says the former minister.
According to him, the document is anchored in six main axes: Fundamentals, Market, Innovation, Sustainability, Governance and Image. From these items, there are developments in topics related to, for example, topics such as legal certainty; credit and insurance; agricultural trade negotiations; logistics; innovation and technology; among others. At the time, the presidential candidates will present their respective government programs for the segment.
