The event, which took place this past Tuesday, not only consolidated Andav's growing influence on the national scene, but also highlighted its integration into the Instituto Pensar Agropecuária (IPA), strengthening collaboration with the Agricultural Parliamentary Front (FPA). The ceremony, attended by deputies, senators, and notable figures from agribusiness, took place in Brasília, highlighting the importance of the federal capital as a stage for decisions that shape the future of agriculture in the country.

During the event, the president of the FPA, federal deputy Pedro Lupion, highlighted the vital role of Andav and the distribution of inputs in the success and efficiency of Brazilian agribusiness. “Our great legacy is to make the real Brazil, from the interior, prosper through the circulation of goods and capital.

Under the leadership of Paulo Tiburcio, Andav's executive presidency celebrates a period of unprecedented growth, with the number of associated companies doubling in recent years and a record revenue of R$145,3 billion in 2022. The partnership with Terramagna to The launch of Andav's first Fiagro is just one of several innovative initiatives that promise to revolutionize the financing and sustainability of Brazilian agribusiness.
