<\/div>\nSoybean planted area\u00a0is expected to reach 17.7 million ha<\/b>\u00a0in the 2024\/25 harvest season<\/b>, 7.5% more than the previous\u00a0season. Due to the dry weather and the leafhopper,\u00a0corn\u00a0planted\u00a0area is expected to fall by 21%, as farmers will need to plant earlier to avoid the spiroplasma bacteria transmitted by this insect. The harvest is expected to be around 52 million tonnes. (Rosario\u00a0Stock Exchange)<\/p>\n
In a provisional measure,\u00a0US$\u00a094.74\u00a0million were\u00a0released to combat forest fires\u00a0<\/b>in the Amazon, Cerrado and Pantanal. Approximately US$\u00a028.52\u00a0million will be allocated to operations in the Legal Amazon and US$\u00a023.96\u00a0million to civil defense and protection actions, and to risk and disaster management. In addition, US$\u00a021.07\u00a0million will be transferred to the Ministry of the Environment for actions to protect and restore biodiversity and combat deforestation and fires. (Federal Government)<\/p>\n Grain production in the 2023\/24 season is expected to totalise 298.41 million tonnes, a reduction of 21.4 million tonnes compared to the previous harvest. This is due to irregular rainfall at the beginning of the season and low precipitation during the cycle. Soybean production is estimated at 147.38 million tonnes, 7.23 million tonnes less than the previous harvest. In the case of corn, the total harvest forecast is 115.72 million tonnes, a reduction of 12.3%. However,\u00a0this should be the second largest harvest recorded in the country, with approximately 79.8 million<\/b>\u00a0ha, an area 1.6% larger than the 2022\/23 harvest season. (Conab)<\/p>\n Has been suspended the\u00a0Law No. 12430\/2024 of the State of Mato Grosso do Sul, which imposes sanctions for the illegal occupation of rural and urban private properties<\/b>.

The law establishes sanctions for individuals involved in invasions of private properties, such as prohibiting the receipt of state aid or social benefits and prohibiting the taking of office in public positions of trust. (Supreme Court)<\/p>\n ApexBrasil and Sebrae signed a\u00a0partnership to boost agricultural exports<\/b>. The total resources are approximately US$ 32.2 million and the goal is to encourage cooperatives and micro and small businesses to improve export-oriented strategies. For agribusiness, investments totalize\u00a0US$ 13.8 million, with an expected increase of more than US$ 34.05 billion between 2024 and 2025. Seven agreements will be signed to expand the presence in international markets of the sectors of processed rice, beef, machinery, inputs, etc. \u201cThe volume of global foreign trade grew 0.8%, while Brazil grew 8.2%, that is, we grew 10 times more than the world average\u201d, said Geraldo Alckmin, the country’s vice president. (MAPA)<\/p>\n The Attorney General’s Office and the\u00a0Chico Mendes Institute for Biodiversity Conservation\u00a0have filed a lawsuit seeking\u00a0compensation for climate damages resulting from violations registered in 7,075 ha<\/b>\u00a0of a federal conservation unit in the Jamanxim National Forest, State of Par\u00e1. The costs of compensation were estimated at US$ 117.05 million and were calculated based on the social cost of greenhouse gas emissions, estimated at 1,139,075 tonnes of carbon. The damages were caused by deforestation, burning, application of herbicides, introduction of exotic species, destruction of\u00a0Permanent Preservation Areas, etc. (AGU)<\/p>\n Agribusiness exports totaled US$ 14.14 billion in August<\/b>. Highlights include the soybean complex, with a 31.6% share, meats (15.3%), sugar and alcohol complex (13.5%), cereals, flours and preparations (9.1%) and forestry products (9%). The sum of foreign sales by these sectors corresponded to 78.6% of the value exported by agribusiness (US$ 11.11 billion).

The estimated loss is R$ 1.2 billion, calculated including the effects on standing sugarcane, ratoons and the poor quality of the raw material, in addition to management and replanting costs.

The project aims to improve sustainable practices on farms, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase the capacity to adapt to climate change in rural communities in the country. (MEF)<\/p>\n In August, meat exports to Chile fell by 2.6% in value and 2% in volume.
