Conab Strengthens Rural Supply in Espírito Santo with the Arrival of Over 1.7 Thousand Tons of Corn for the Counter Sale Program, Benefiting Small Producers
Conab announced the arrival of over 1.7 thousand tons of corn at two storage units located in Colatina and Cachoeiro de Itapemirim, in Espírito Santo, according to a news article published.
This volume, intended for the Counter Sale Program (ProVB), ensures that small rural producers have regular access to the grain used in animal feed.
In Colatina, the receipt already totals 1 thousand tons, while in Cachoeiro, the stock reaches 741 tons.

Iran became the largest buyer of Brazilian corn with 9.1 million tons, but the cargo leaves the field heading towards a global tension zone: sanctions, military risk in the Persian Gulf, Strait of Hormuz, and dependence on fertilizers turn the giant client of the national agribusiness into an alert for the next harvest.

Saudi Arabia bought nearly 397,000 tons of Brazilian chicken, but now wants to create a poultry empire in the desert: the self-sufficiency plan targets local production, threatens shipments from BRF, JBS, and Seara, and raises an alert for Brazil in the halal market until 2030.

War in Iran raises fertilizer prices, triggers alert in Brazilian agribusiness, and leads the government to seek new suppliers to avoid impacts on the harvest.

Soybeans plummet in Chicago with favorable weather in the United States, and Brazilian producers hold off sales due to price pressure and lack of market response.
This initiative is strategic to maintain a continuous supply during the planned distribution cycle for the month.
Family Farming Boosted by the Counter Sale Program
Family farming represents a significant part of the Capixaba economy, and Conab strengthens this segment through the ProVB.
The program allows small producers to buy corn from public stocks at prices compatible with local wholesale.
The requirement for documents such as the Declaration of Aptitude for Pronaf (DAP) or the National Register of Family Agriculture (CAF) ensures that beneficiaries genuinely belong to the target audience.
Thus, smaller farmers can keep their herds fed without price fluctuations that could compromise production.
Animal Feed Guaranteed with Corn from Conab
The corn received will be directly allocated to animal feed on smaller rural properties. This measure ensures adequate nutrition for cattle, pigs, and poultry, essential for the production of milk, meat, and eggs in the state.
By offering grains at fair prices, Conab contributes to reducing production costs and stabilizing supply chains.
The impact goes beyond the farm gate: end consumers also benefit from the maintenance of the supply of animal-derived food in the market.
Distribution Organized by Storage Units
The storage units in Colatina and Cachoeiro play an essential role in the logistics of supply.
The arrival of 1.7 thousand tons follows the company’s delivery schedule, ensuring that producers do not face shortages of inputs during critical periods.
This organization allows the ProVB to maintain a continuous distribution rhythm, avoiding imbalances in the field.
The regularity of deliveries is one of the pillars that sustain producers’ confidence in the program, ensuring predictability and security.
Social Inclusion and Strengthening of the Rural Sector
Conab, through the ProVB, not only ensures the supply of corn but also promotes social inclusion in rural areas.
Small farmers who previously faced difficulties accessing inputs now have a public policy that increases their competitiveness.
This action strengthens family farming, generates income, and contributes to families’ persistence in rural areas. The supply by Conab represents a collective victory for producers, consumers, and the local economy.
