São Paulo sustains its leadership in Brazilian agribusiness, contributing 20% of Brazil’s exports, using modern technology and sustainable techniques. A key improvement has been the replacement of fire-marking calves during brucellosis immunization with ear notching, which enhances animal welfare. The state’s commitment to a circular economy is also noteworthy; São Paulo effectively uses agro-industrial waste, and cattle waste composting, and produces biomethane in Pontal do Paranapanema, where over 150,000 hectares have been labeled, thereby attracting investments. Resuming Feicorte after ten years highlights São Paulo livestock’s leadership in feedlots and cattle tracks, boosting exports and sustainability. Programs like Integra Pontal and forestry programs solidify São Paulo’s reputation for balancing production and environmental protection.
