Technical Support and Programs for Strengthening Rural Production in Rondônia

During the fair, representatives from Conab, including the regional superintendent, Rosemberg Alves Pereira, the operations manager, Edilson Cândido de Lima Júnior, and the operations assistant, Francisco Ivani Narciso, highlighted the importance of institutional presence to broaden the reach of public policies aimed at rural areas.

On the first day of the event, the launch of the More Management Program, an initiative from the Ministry of Agrarian Development (MDA), took place, offering technical support to cooperatives, associations, and agribusinesses of family farming across the country, with local execution in Rondônia.

Conab’s presence at the space aims to reinforce technical assistance and guide producers about the Food Acquisition Program (PAA), which supports projects developed by cooperatives and associations.

In addition, visitors receive information about the Sales at Counter Program (ProVB), aimed at purchasing corn directly from Conab’s storage units by small producers, and about the Sociobio Plus Program, which guarantees economic subsidy to extractivism products and forest peoples.

These actions expand farmers’ access to support mechanisms and income diversification, strengthening family farming in Rondônia.

Sustainable Development and Integration of Traditional Communities

The fair also aims to encourage sustainable growth and strengthen local productive networks.

The integrated action between IFRO and Conab contributes to increasing the number of registered and informed farmers, as well as stimulating the improvement of projects submitted to the PAA and the expansion of corn sales through ProVB.

With the increase of subsidies granted by Sociobio Plus, it is expected to expand the reach of traditional and extractivist communities within public policies on supply and food security.

Family farming in Rondônia is one of the pillars of regional development, and events like this consolidate the institutions’ commitment to valuing the rural producer.

The initiative reinforces the importance of cooperative organization, continuous training, and access to information that can generate new marketing opportunities and efficient management of properties.

Institutional Partnerships and Strengthening of Regional Production

The II Fair of Family and Agroecological Farming at IFRO is part of the strategic planning of the Regional Superintendency of Conab in Rondônia, which seeks to enhance the integration between public policies and local communities.

The union of teaching, research, and extension boosts the practical application of programs that directly benefit the field, generating concrete results such as increased income and strengthening the rural economy.

Thus, the event reaffirms the importance of family farming in Rondônia as a vector of productive inclusion, innovation, and sustainability, reinforcing the role of IFRO and Conab in promoting regional development.

Seven world powers including the US, China, and Russia are spending €22 billion on a reactor in the south of France that aims to confine plasma at 150 million degrees Celsius, ten times the temperature of the Sun’s core, using a magnetic field capable of lifting an entire aircraft carrier.

While countries spend billions to draw water from the sea, a Nobel-winning scientist creates a container-sized machine that extracts up to 1,000 liters per day from dry air and uses ultrasound to release water in minutes, even in the middle of the desert.

After 16 years and almost 600 prototypes, a Chinese inventor unveils the world’s smallest and cheapest manned jet, at just 3.80 meters long and costing US$7.2 thousand in materials.

Belgium will sink 23 giant concrete caissons, each weighing 22,000 tons, in the North Sea to build the world’s first artificial energy island 45 km off the coast, forming offshore electrical walls.

With a 1.6-liter 118 hp engine, a 460-liter trunk, and a 7-inch multimedia system, the Nissan V-Drive 2026 is sold in Mexico starting at 339,900 Mexican pesos and relies on low maintenance costs to win over app drivers, fleet owners, and self-employed professionals.
