<\/div>\nRetenciones\u00a0<\/b><\/i>(export taxes)<\/b>\u00a0on meat and dairy products\u00a0have been adjusted<\/b>. The measure applies to exports of all cuts in the “beef” category (whether A, B, C, D or E) and pork, in addition to eliminating export duties on dairy products and reducing by 25% the\u00a0retenciones\u00a0<\/i>on all animal proteins (beef, poultry, lamb, etc.) that are exported, and which are currently taxed between 4.5% and 9%. Thus, it is estimated that around US$ 130 million will be returned to the chain. “Based on these new measures, this amount will return to the production chain and make it more competitive,” indicated the Ministry of Agriculture.

Oilseed industry workers’ strike\u00a0has\u00a0compromised\u00a0soybean shipments in the country<\/b>. The strike was initiated by two unions, demanding better wages due to inflation. (Capym)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The Secretariat of Agricultural Defense published Ordinance No. 1161, revoking Ordinance No. 1,158, which\u00a0reduces the “scope of the zoosanitary emergency area” in the State of Rio Grande do Sul\u00a0<\/strong>and declares “zoosanitary emergency for the municipalities of Anta Gorda, Doutor Ricardo, Putinga, Ilopolis and Relvado in the State of Rio Grande do Sul, due to the detection of infection by the pathogenic virus of Newcastle disease in commercial birds”. (MAPA)<\/p>\n Brazil and Chile sign agreements to promote agricultural development<\/strong>. Nineteen agreements were signed, three of which are focused on agriculture. Brazil currently exports US$ 1.5 billion to Chile per year and imports US$ 1.4 billion. (MAPA)<\/p>\n Launched\u00a0the PSA Carbon Agro Perene, a methodology that\u00a0measures ecosystem services and forest carbon in productive<\/strong>\u00a0and conserved areas<\/strong>\u00a0within Brazilian rural properties and provides payment for environmental services (PSA) and carbon credits. Farmers are remunerated based on the environmental services they provide, assessed by ecological indicators and good agricultural practices, taking into account forest conservation, water quality, maintenance of habitats for biodiversity, etc. Measurement is in units of C+ (Carbon Plus), which corresponds to the removal of one ton of CO2 from the atmosphere. (Citrosuco; ECCON Solu\u00e7\u00f5es Ambientais; Reservas Votorantim)<\/p>\n Researchers point to\u00a0Moringa oleifera<\/em>\u00a0as a potential species for feeding ruminants during dry periods. The species is drought-resistant and has high levels of proteins, vitamins and minerals, which can improve yield\u00a0and quality of animal products with less environmental impact and cost reduction. \u201cWhen harvested at a height of 1.6 m and chopped in its entirety (stem and leaf), the plant presented a total crude protein content of around 14% and\u00a0dry matter digestibility of 64.3%<\/strong>\u00a0during the dry period, similar to several tropical grasses during the rainy season. This suggests that there will be excellent animal consumption and performance. However, it is necessary to manage the replacement of soil nutrients, especially phosphorus and potassium\u201d, said F\u00e1bio Prud\u00eancio de Campos, researcher at IZ-APTA. (IZ-APTA; SAA; MAPA)<\/p>\n BP Bunge Bioenergia will invest US$ 95.1 million to\u00a0expand sugarcane milling<\/strong>\u00a0at its plant in the State of Tocantins, which will produce 3.4 million tonnes per harvest. Construction will begin in October and is scheduled for completion in July of 2026. (BP Bunge<\/a>)<\/p>\n Launched a\u00a0project to strengthen rural settlements and promote the sustainability of family farming\u00a0<\/b>in the State of Mato Grosso. The initiative will encourage more than 4,300 farmers and aims to provide training and technical assistance, strengthen the production chain, encourage female participation and mechanize agricultural production. (MAPA; UFMT)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n The country has granted\u00a0authorization to import Brazilian avocados<\/b>, the third market opening to Brazil in 2024. In the 1H\/2024, exports to Costa Rica totaled around US$ 153 million. (MAPA)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/agribrasilis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Brazil.png\")
