Sérgio Moro: In particular, Paraná draws much of its wealth from the strength of its agribusiness.
Sérgio Moro: Not only because of fertile land and favorable climate, but because of the dedication and work of rural producers — workers, whether small or large farmers — but I read reports that the Lula government cut the funds intended for crop insurance by half: the amounts went from R$1 billion to R$474 million for crop insurance.
This comes in a context in which we have the arrival of El Niño, which will certainly impact and create greater risks for the productivity of our agribusiness.
Sérgio Moro: There are reports published by the newspapers — I highlight here O Globo — and there are also several rural newspapers and channels reporting that the area covered by insurance will fall to 2.8% of the total planted area, which is a practically insignificant percentage, considering the demands of Brazilian agribusiness.
Sérgio Moro: This also occurs in a context in which the European Union is imposing non-tariff restrictions on the export of our products, particularly animal protein.
