The Registration of the Donation of Agrosilicon in Minas Gerais Is Open Until 28/11, Strengthening Municipalities and Rural Producers with Sustainable Input of High Productive Impact

The donation of agrosilicon in Minas Gerais is boosting the agricultural sector with a new phase of the state program to support sustainable agriculture, according to a report published.

The State Secretariat of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply (Seapa) opened, on the last 6th of October, the registration for municipalities interested in the 3rd stage of the project, which aims to distribute 10 thousand tons of agrosilicon to family farmers.

The deadline for enrollment is until November 28, and registrations must be made exclusively by municipal managers, using the city’s CNPJ.

Municipal Registration for Sustainable Family Agriculture

The registration process is directed to municipalities that wish to integrate the agrosilicon program for rural producers in Minas, including those that have already participated in previous stages.

As explained by Seapa’s technical advisor, Marlon Gomes Dias, the filling out must be done by the municipal manager, and the fertilizer cannot be transferred directly to producers or cooperatives.

The entire procedure is linked to the municipality’s adherence, ensuring transparency and control over the destination of the input.

The registration form is available on the official Seapa website, in the “services – agrosilicon” tab, and must be submitted by November 28.

This stage is essential to ensure the continuity of actions aimed at strengthening sustainable family agriculture in Minas Gerais, expanding the number of benefited municipalities.

Environmental and Productive Benefits of Silicon Fertilizer

The use of agrosilicon as a soil corrective has been highlighted for its environmental and economic benefits.

In addition to functioning as a fertilizer, the product reduces soil acidity, improves nutrient absorption, and contributes directly to increased agricultural productivity.

Another highlight is the positive environmental impact: the input promotes low-carbon agriculture, reducing emissions and strengthening sustainability practices in the field.

With technical support from Emater-MG, soil analyses guide the appropriate dosage, ensuring the efficient and responsible use of the product.

Public-Private Partnership Strengthens Rural Development in Minas

The initiative for the donation of agricultural inputs in Minas Gerais results from cooperation between the public and private sectors.

Harsco Environmental is responsible for donating agrosilicon, while municipal governments handle transportation and distribution to local farmers.

Emater-MG technically monitors each phase, ensuring that the fertilizer is applied according to the needs identified in the field.

This partnership model has proven effective in promoting economic growth in the Minas agribusiness, generating concrete results in productivity and sustainability.

Expansion of Rural Production with a Focus on Sustainability

The free distribution of agrosilicon in Minas Gerais reflects a strategy of sustainable rural development based on innovation, efficiency, and environmental balance.

With a forecast of 10 thousand additional tons of input in this stage, the program expands the social and economic impact of the agricultural sector, strengthening communities and promoting cleaner productive practices.

The project reinforces the State’s role as a reference in environmental management applied to agribusiness, promoting ideal conditions for the advancement of family agriculture in Minas.
