With three types of biomes and cultural diversity in Bahia, agriculture in the state has great potential, said the president of Faeb. “We produce everything from black pepper in the southernmost region, to fruits in Vale do São Francisco, to red fruits in Chapada Diamantina, grains in the western region, in addition to our cocoa, which is the brand of an important region here in our state of Bahia. In addition, in the livestock sector, we have the largest herd of goats and cattle in Brazil, we have a herd of almost 14 million animals, a large herd of cattle, especially the mangalarga marchador breed. We have a spectacular state in terms of the characteristics of the climate, the soil, the three biomes and, above all, the diversity of crops in the agricultural sector and our livestock potential”, explained Miranda.

However, he said, there are still security and infrastructure problems in rural areas, especially in areas that are important river basins. Miranda highlighted, for example, the lack of dams to store water in the state. “The problem of security in rural areas is a problem, both in terms of the security of people’s lives and the security of property, land, livestock, assets of rural producers. Another very serious problem in Bahia is the problem of infrastructure. one of the semi-arid areas with the highest rainfall in the world, an important river basin and we need to build dams, we need to have a water retention policy in the state to ensure that our river basins can store this water here most of the river basins cross the semi-arid areas of our state, where we need water for production”, he explained.

Miranda also addressed issues such as connectivity that can contribute to the progress of various sectors in the field. “Connectivity is essential for us to provide education, health, producer qualifications. Bahia still has many challenges to overcome but we are convinced that our sector, which has been growing, will continue to contribute to the economy of our country and to the creation of jobs and income, which is fundamental especially in small towns where the agricultural sector is the main driver of the economy”, he said.

In 2023, Bahia’s average agricultural contribution to GDP will be 21.1%, equivalent to R$88.7 billion. According to Miranda, this year was a record year in grain production, favorable prices, and food crops such as bananas, mangoes, and grapes. Although 2024 will see low wages and lower prices than in previous years, the Faeb System is expected to have a year of employment and income generation in the agricultural sector.

“This year we are facing some issues related to remuneration, especially grain in the international market. Cattle prices are still far below previous years, all of which have a direct impact on GDP. We are also experiencing some slight variations in the climate in some countries. important moments of the country’s main crops. But you can be sure that we will still have a very successful year from an agricultural point of view. We will continue to create jobs, generate income because the agricultural sector has this potential, and this will always happen with technology, with science, with research so that this sector continues to contribute to the country’s economy,” he stressed.
