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.

Without money for a tractor or Tobata, a farmer from Presidente Getúlio bought an old motorcycle from an auction and created an agricultural tricycle that carries up to 900 kg of fertilizer in the field; in five years, he has already sold eight to neighbors.

A single tank in the lake of a plant yields 90,000 kilos of tilapia every six months, and the company wants to multiply this by 500 to take Mato Grosso do Sul from 11th place to the top in the country.

Russia recognizes Brazil as free from foot-and-mouth disease without vaccination on June 10, 2026, strengthens Brazilian agribusiness, and paves the way for more meat, fish, nuts, and new business with a billion-dollar market.

Fish farming becomes the new giant of Brazilian agribusiness and transforms tilapia into the “water ox,” in a chain that already moves R$ 11 billion per year and exceeds 1 million tons produced.
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.
