Agribusiness needs legal certainty related to agrarian, environmental, labor, fiscal, among other issues, so that investments directed to the sector are unlocked. This was highlighted by the deputy-federalist (PSDB-MT) and former president of the Parliamentary Front of Agriculture (FPA), Nilson Leitão, during the XP DATAGRO Agrifinance Brazil, on Tuesday (07), in São Paulo (SP) .
According to the parliamentarian, there is a set of laws that are contradictory when it comes to agribusiness, opening space for subjectivity. “What the rural entrepreneur wants is just isonomy in relation to his urban colleague, that’s all,” he said, adding that “many legislations have bias against agribusiness.”
As examples of laws that need to be modernized, Leitão cited environmental licensing for agricultural activities, as well as the loopholes related to the purchase of land by foreign capital.
