Acre Governor Gladson Camelí served an official agenda in Acolândia on Wednesday, 17, where he delivered more than 20,000 bags of limestone and 4,000 bags of fertilizer to rural producers from the municipalities of Acreland and Placido de Castro. The action is part of the efficient livestock project and represents a concrete example of how public policies can boost productivity and promote sustainable practices in the field.
The initiative occurs a few days after IBGE’s Municipal Agricultural Production (PAM) survey (PAM), which pointed to a significant growth of 13.5% in the value of acrean agricultural production in 2024 ,. Acre stands out nationally, especially in a sector retraction scenario in other regions of the country. The harvested area also increased by 2.5%, reaching 97,461 hectares.
According to experts, this positive performance is directly linked to state government actions, which has been expanding investments in inputs, technical training and strategic partnerships with the productive sector.
“It is a joy to participate in such a positive agenda, when our government, through the Secretariat of Agriculture, delivers inputs to the most efficient livestock project,” said Camelí, during the event, accompanied by local producers and authorities.
The governor pointed out that the investment of more than R $ 2 million has two fundamental impacts: pasture recovery, which raises the productivity of the herd, and decreased deforestation by reducing pressure on new forest areas. “These actions contribute directly to the sustainable growth of agricultural production in the state,” he said.
Camelí also stressed the importance of articulation between the public and private sectors, mentioning the partnership with the dairy products Vidalac, Buriti and Coopel, made possible with the support of the REM program. “We are promoting the reduction of social inequalities in our state,” he said.
In addition to the delivery of inputs, the governor cited investments in other productive chains, such as coffee growing, cocoa, cassava and pupunha, as well as training and artificial insemination programs, which are strengthening the performance of acrean agriculture.
At the end of his speech, Cameli thanked the partners involved and reaffirmed the government’s commitment to rural development. “We go on, increasingly improving the quality of acrean livestock, increasing the productivity of our agribusiness and generating new paths of prosperity for those who chose Acre to live,” he concluded.
Protagonism of the rural producer
During the delivery of inputs in Acolândia and Plácido de Castro, the state secretary of agriculture, Luiz Tchê, highlighted the growth of agricultural production in Acre, in contrast to the national scenario. According to him, recent IBGE data indicate that the state had significant advancement in the sector.
“Acre is exporting more, producing more, and this is the result of a government that does not pursue the rural producer, but that lets him work,” said Tchê, in reference to the management of Governor Gladson Camelí. He thanked the Chief Executive and the Secretariat’s team for their confidence and support to the actions of the portfolio.
The secretary announced the delivery of 45 Rodotrens loaded with limestone and fertilizer, intended for local producers. According to him, the beneficiaries are selected by technical criteria, which ensures greater efficiency to the livestock program. “Who wins with this is the dairy, which will produce more. Our goal is to stop buying milk from Rondônia and install here a milk factory powder,” he said.
Tchê also stressed that production incentive has had positive impacts on the state crop, which grows month by month. He cited the example of soy, whose planted area went from zero in 2019 to 22 thousand hectares in 2025. “While the national average is 56 bags per hectare, we are harvesting 62,” he celebrated.
Among the programs highlighted by the secretary are real -time soil analysis, the incentive for coffee cultivation, which, according to him, has already gained international recognition, and the strengthening of honey production. “The limestone will be our gold, can be absolutely sure,” he said.
For Tchê, the secret of public policy success lies in dialogue with producers. “You have to bring them to the table, talk, understand your needs. Only then will Acre will be a great barn of this country,” he concluded.
‘It was a hand on the wheel for us’
Producers of the region highlighted the importance of support received to strengthen rural production. Among the beneficiaries is farmer Sebastiana de Lima, from the Triunfo community, located in the Cazuza branch, in Plácido de Castro.
Sebastiana said that, on her property, there is cattle, chickens and pigs, as well as diversified production. “We create everything, produce everything there in our land,” he said. She pointed out that government support arrived at a good time. “It was really good, we needed it. That was a hand on the wheel for us,” he said, thrilled.
For the producer, the government’s look at the countryside is essential for the development of municipalities. “I believe that strengthening those who produce and generate income is the way out, yes,” he said. Upon receiving limestone and other inputs, Sebastiana did not hide the joy. “We are very happy. I am very grateful to the governor and our secretary, the tchê,” he concluded.
Another producer who also received the inputs was Darcir Pereira, owner of an area of 75 hectares. He works with dairy cattle, besides raising sheep, pigs, chickens and fish. According to Darcir, the incentives of the current government have made a difference in the lives of small producers. “The difference is great. The incentive now is totally different, especially for us who are small in the interior,” he said.
He stressed that the support received encourages producers to invest more in their properties. “It makes a difference, for sure. We are grateful to the governor and the Secretariat of Agriculture,” he said. For Darcir, receiving limestone for free represents a relief. “It’s a great help. It’s not easy to get this material, and now we get grateful, knowing the importance,” he said.
Governor reinforces support to the rural area
Governor Gladson Camelí celebrated the advances of the rural sector in the state and reaffirmed the commitment of his management with the producers.
“This is the result of a policy that encourages those who want to work and creates conditions so that the farmer can produce with dignity.”
He pointed out that his management has to pillar the strengthening of the economy through the generation of employment and income in the countryside.
Camelí stressed that support for agribusiness and agriculture does not mean giving up environmental preservation. “You don’t have to cleanse to strengthen livestock and agribusiness. Just obey the laws and let you work who wants to work,” he said. He also mentioned that the government has been active to reduce burning and promote sustainable development.
The Union, according to him, between state and municipalities is essential to expand the reach of actions. “This month alone, I was in Acrelandia four times, always in partnership with City Hall. We need to be united to optimize our teams and improve people’s lives,” he concluded.
Hand in hand with the rural area
Producer Jane Gomes, representative of the region’s rural workers, highlighted the importance of state government support for those who live on dairy production. According to her, the encouragement with limestone and fertilizer comes at a crucial time to ensure the continuity of work in the field.
“The toil in the countryside is differentiated, especially for those who deal with milk. It only works with dairy cattle who likes, who has a vocation,” said Jane. She reported that while many young people are returning from the party at 4 am, her son and other young people in the community are already standing to start the daily read.
Jane thanked Governor Gladson Camelí, the Secretary of Agriculture, Luiz Tchê, and the cooperative, responsible for the distribution of milk in the region. According to her, it was through the cooperative that the inputs reached the producers.
“The limestone will enable us to make the soil correction, improve our capineas and ensure food for the flock. Water and salt are not enough, and irrigated pickets are very expensive. This support is fundamental for us to continue producing riches and improving the quality of life in the countryside,” he said.
The representative ended her speech by reinforcing the collective feeling of the region’s producers: “We are very grateful. This incentive is very important and gives us strength to move on.”
The mayor of Acreland, Olavo Resende, stressed the relevance of the investments made by the state government in the municipality. According to him, the actions directly contribute to local development and help face the economic challenges that affect the country.
“It is always very good when we see investments coming to the municipality. I believe a lot in the initiatives that are being made here in the state,” said the mayor. He pointed out that, as in other regions, Acolândia will also benefit from public policies aimed at strengthening rural production.
