After agribusiness GDP, Lula tries to rapprochement with the sector – 06/07/2023 – Panel SA

President Lula was booed at the opening of the Bahia Farm Show, the biggest agribusiness event in the North and Northeast in Luís Eduardo Magalhães, in the west of the state.

He spoke at the opening of the fair, the second largest in the country, as part of a strategy to bring the sector closer together, which he called “fascist” during the election campaign.

The president’s move comes after the performance of GDP in the first quarter, which grew 1.9% driven by agro.

“The sector already accounts for 30% of Bahia’s GDP. We intend to exceed 40% in four years, expanding productivity, attracting new producers and agro-industrial projects”, said the secretary of Agriculture, Wallison Tum.

For this, the state is betting on the supply of land still available for large-scale production and on tax incentive programs. No
