" We have 30 % of Brazilian agriculture overseas, we export products to about 160 countries . And we have competition in the world. So let us bring outsiders to lead the debate on how to address this competition , "said Cesario Ramalho , president of SRB . " The government is not worried about Brazilian agriculture . We will have a new government next year and we need to convince him of the importance of agriculture , global competition , food safety . What depends on the private sector is doing very well , but the Ministry of Agriculture is scrapped , "he criticized .
For Pliny Nastari , president of Datagro , the forum brings an important discussion at the moment Mercosur consolidates itself as the largest provider of food in the world . " If we do not seek to discuss the link between the producer and the consumer does not add value . The concept of traceability , for example, is critical to the consumer. And in 2030 , two-thirds of the middle class in the world will be in Asia , "he added .Besides bringing together experts to discuss strategies for long -term solutions for the sector , the Global Agribusiness Forum 2014 will generate an official document , which will be forwarded to the authorities from around the world about what was discussed .In the previous edition ( 25 and September 26, 2012 ) , the event brought international personalities such as Secretary of the Treasury of the United States ( 1999-2001 ) Lawrence H.
