The Minister of Agriculture and Livestock, Carlos Fávaro, emphasized the importance of corn for Brazilian agriculture during the first Congress of the Brazilian Association of Corn Producers (Abramilho), which was held on Wednesday (17) in Brasilia. “Corn is steadily solidifying as the leading Brazilian industry. A congress like this that brings technologies, information, and debates for producers as well as for the agroindustry, government, and parliamentarians is essential. Corn is a key component of the agricultural economy because it has an impact on the production of meat, biofuels, crop rotation, and soil quality. Favaro claims that by strengthening the corn production chain, other production chains, including those for soy, cotton, sorghum, and wheat, are also reinforced.
