Scheffer’s financial and commercial director, Guilherme Scheffer, agrees with Faria that Brazil does its “evil” marketing and gives as an example all the work that is already done in cotton production in the country. “More than 50% of Brazilian cotton today has BETR Cotton initiative (BCI) certification, which allows the tracking of the entire production chain, which makes the country a reference to the world in good practices. We need to show it,” he said.
For Marcos Thieme, CEO of Caramuru Alimentos, the soy production chain is a good example to illustrate full use of the grain. “Today, nothing is lost in soy: everything takes advantage.

Roberto Rodrigues, former minister of agriculture and livestock and panel mediator also recalled that all this work was based on three pillars: the genetics developed by Embrapa, Brazilian soil and investments in technology. “Embrapa was the propeller with research, but the private initiative gave the impetus that was missing, betting on new technologies,” says the former minister, adding that it will be the great opportunity for the sector to show everything that is done by agribusiness across the country.
