IRRIGATION IS A PRIORITY FOR 2025, SAYS SÃO PAULO’S AGRICULTURE SECRETARY

Fires in São Paulo caused R$2 billion in agribusiness losses, impacting 480,000 hectares across 8,000 properties in 317 municipalities. Affected sectors include beef, milk, sugarcane, and fruit production. The state launched a crisis cabinet and provided R$130 million for rural insurance and emergency funding. For 2025, São Paulo plans investments in irrigation, photovoltaic energy, and fire prevention, alongside programs like Agro SP + Seguro for equipment distribution. São Paulo leads in environmental regularization with 100% of properties registered in the CAR. The sugar-energy sector drives clean energy, attracting R$50 billion for hybrid and electric vehicle production. São Paulo surpassed Mato Grosso in agricultural exports, contributing 18.4% of Brazil’s total in 2024.
