The resumption of SIAVS was the consecration of a sector that did not miss food on the table of Brazilians after one of the most difficult periods in the history of humanity. And we went further, we debated how to meet a growing global demand, ensuring sustainable production and preserving natural resources. We broke records for participation in the event and also in the production and export of poultry, pork and eggs, but, above all, we reinforced the importance of Brazil to support the planet’s food security,” he concluded.
