Agricultural auditors will send a new proposal to MGI for career restructuring

In a new general meeting held today, 92% of federal agricultural tax auditors approved a counter-proposal for career restructuring to be presented to the Ministry of Management and Innovation in Public Services (MGI). This decision marks a significant step with the aim of facilitating the reopening of dialogue with the government, reinforcing the need for greater appreciation of Brazilian agricultural defense.

Among the items in the proposal, the National Union of Federal Agricultural Tax Auditors (Anffa Sindical) wants to make official to the MGI the need to expand the locations that receive border compensation, compensation for paid time off, in addition to the inclusion of the career in the audit cycle.

“We reaffirm the commitment of agricultural auditors to guarantee the continuity of essential activities, always aiming at the safety and quality of the food that reaches the table of Brazilians or other countries”, stated the president of Anffa Sindical, Janus Pablo Macedo.

According to the union, the extension of the mobilization, which began in January, is due to the government's intransigence, which insists on treating food safety and agricultural defense differently from other priorities, such as tax collection, environmental inspection and public safety.

Currently, Brazil has 2,3 agricultural auditors to audit and inspect ports, airports, border areas, meat-packing plants, agro-industries, production fields, animal health and welfare, in addition to carrying out tax analyzes in laboratories and open markets through agricultural attachments. Around 20% of this total is ready to retire and the replacement of personnel through public competitions has not been able to meet the volume of Brazilian agribusiness.
