Global agenda expands space for pre-germinated rice
Demand for more sustainable practices favors a system that currently occupies 10% of the cereal area in RS
Traditional events on the Brazilian coffee growing calendar, FEMAGRI -- Agricultural Machinery, Implements and Inputs Fair and the Cerrado Fair, held by the Minas Gerais cooperative Cooxupé, will be held 100% in digital format in 2022, just as happened in 2021.
The decision is to maintain the health protection of members and suppliers in the face of the pandemic and also due to the success achieved with producers adhering to the new model implemented last year.
FEMAGRI will take place from February 01st to 25th and the Cerrado Fair from March 01st to 31st. Cooxupé members will find new products and the inclusion of new brands in relation to coffee harvesters, sprayers, irrigation, precision agriculture, coffee yard projects, among others.
Access will occur through the Cooxupé application, available for Android and IOS, or also through member support centers. “Our expectation is to work intensively in negotiating machines, implements and inputs together with suppliers to seek the best market conditions for our members. The pandemic period had a major impact on the industrialization of products and machinery, causing delays in deliveries. The forecast is for a possible improvement in the production of machines in the second half of 2022, therefore, at the fairs we will also guide our producers to have excellent planning to carry out their harvests without difficulties”, explains the president of the cooperative, Carlos Augusto Rodrigues de Melo .
