In a visit to Agrishow on Thursday (03), in Ribeirão Preto (SP), the President of the Republic, Michel Temer, highlighted the importance of agribusiness for the Brazilian economy. “Every year, Brazil is growing because of the confidence we have in what everyone is doing and the extraordinary work of agribusiness,” Temer said.
According to preliminary data from the fair, which began on April 30 and goes until this Friday (04), the producers present at the exhibition have already closed deals that reached a mark of more than R $ 1 billion, double that registered in 2016. The Brazilian agribusiness registered a record harvest in the 2016/17 cycle, with more than 230 million tons of grains, an increase of 13% compared to the previous cycle.
Fair host, Agrishow president Francisco Matturro, said the technology is a strong alliance to ensure success in the field. “We work in a tropical climate, which is much more difficult. No one has this reality, and Science has helped us, “he said.
“From the small to the big producer, the technology is for that time we have to plant, harvest, pulverize, so that, really, the producer can extract the maximum of the machine and also the maximum of the potential of the seed,” explained Rodrigo Bonato, sales director of a distributor of agricultural machinery and implements.
