22nd Brazilian Agribusiness Congress will debate innovation in production chains

Investments in innovation in production chains contribute to adding value to Brazilian agribusiness, by allowing an increase in productivity combined with the environmental preservation agenda. In this context, the 22nd Brazilian Agribusiness Congress, organized by ABAG - Brazilian Agribusiness Association and B3, the Brazilian stock exchange, will feature the panel Production Chains and Innovation, with the participation of Davide Ceper, CEO of Varda; Luiz Lourenço, president of Cocamar; Malu Nachreiner, CEO of Bayer Brasil; Ricardo Scheffer de Figueiredo, CEO of Grupo Sonda Brasil.

During the debate, moderated by Silvia Massruhá, president of EMBRAPA, executives will assess the importance, for the competitiveness of the sector, of new technologies and disruptive processes in different production chains, and will point out the benefits of investing in innovation to reduce costs and increased productivity. They will also consider how agriculture can give new meaning to its future through innovation.

Innovation is one of the pillars for maintaining Brazilian agribusiness as a protagonist in increasing the production and supply of food, fiber and renewable energy globally. The sector has a prominent role in national socioeconomic development. In the first quarter of this year, agricultural GDP grew 21,6% compared to the last quarter of 2022, helping to increase Brazilian GDP by 1,9% in the period. The data are from IBGE.

The 22nd Brazilian Agribusiness Congress will take place on August 7th, in a hybrid format, with the central theme of Brazil Agro: Innovation and Governance. Registration is open and can be done through the official website https://congressoabag.com.br/. The traditional and renowned event will also feature three more panels: Innovation and Markets; Governance and Perspectives; Geopolitics and Governance.

In 2022, the Brazilian Agribusiness Congress was attended by more than 700 people and 170 journalists from across the country, in person, and more than 6 thousand visits throughout the event. The participating public was made up of businesspeople, sector leaders, public authorities linked to federal, state and municipal governments, parliamentarians, as well as professionals linked to agriculture.
