Sustainable agricultural production: plantations without pesticides and reforestation are agribusiness trends in ES

Planting without pesticides and reforestation has been a trend for producers in the state. ES stands out in sustainable agricultural production and the sector should receive R$ 50 billion The agricultural sector is one of the engines of the economy in Espírito Santo. The biggest concern of Espírito Santo producers is to produce sustainably. And Espírito Santo producers are realizing, more and more, that this type of production, which respects the environment and is fair from a social point of view, can also be economically viable.

From the production of honey from stingless bees to the plantation of bananas and other fruits, there are at least 11 types of food. And most carry the pesticide-free product certificate, which adds even more value to the final product. “We have cocoa, coffee, beans, bananas, cassava, which we make into flour, and I produce manioc flour to make tapioca. I make sweet cocoa, oranges. We have a little of everything on the property. Which is good for me, for my food. If I like to eat a product without poison, I think the other person has the right to eat a product without poison too”, said producer Domingas Maria Sagrillo.

A way to help maintain the source of water that Domingas uses in her own production. There were two hectares recovered by the hands of her and her husband. A heritage that she wants to leave for the next generations and set an example of ecologically viable production. “The saying goes that if you don’t have water, life is over too, right? So we thought: ‘let’s reforest’. I think it’s really a question of survival. The important thing is to have enough, live well and have a healthy life , the quality of life that we have to have”, said Domingas.

According to economist Antônio da Luz, agro has been associated with large industries. “Agribusiness causes this, a connection between countryside and city. Where the producer is on his property and the people in the city, industrializing these productions”, commented the economist. According to the director of the Jones dos Santos Neves Institute (IJSN), Pablo Lira, the amount invested in the state for agribusiness will be fundamental for job creation. “These sustainable technological advances are characteristic here in Espírito Santo, especially in the northern portion, from small properties to large enterprises. This investment is very promising for the generation of jobs and income. We see enterprises in the production of coconut, papaya. There are also livestock ventures in the north of the state, which is very prominent”, completed Pablo Lira. Espírito Santo is a national highlight, for example, in some cultures, such as papaya, black pepper, coffee, eggs, yams and others. And when the producer associates production with sustainability, he only has to win.
