New Industry Brazil: a historical introduction
The program Nova Indústria Brasil (NIB) was presented as one of the federal government's most ambitious industrialization strategies in decades.
It represents not only a modernization of production chains, but also a response to global challenges related to sustainability and food security.
According to the Ministry of Development, Industry, Commerce and Services (MDIC), NIB seeks to reposition Brazil as a global player in industrial and agricultural innovation.
This includes, for example, the development of more technological production chains that are less dependent on external inputs.
The launch ceremony, held in Brasília, brought together political leaders and representatives of strategic sectors. For the National Confederation of Industry (CNI), the program is a milestone in the country's history.
“This policy redefines the role of Brazilian industry and places sustainable development at the center of economic decisions,” said Rafael Lucchesi, the entity’s director of Industrial Development.
Investment structure: public and private hand in hand
One of the highlights of the program is the balance between public and private investments. The division of resources is as follows:
- $ 250,2 billion will come from public resources, with R$198,1 billion already allocated between 2023 and 2024.
- $ 52,1 billion Additional ones will be available through 2026.
- $ 296,3 billion are expected as private sector investments until 2029.
These numbers place the program among the largest economic development initiatives in Brazil in recent decades.
Bold goals for the future
The goals set by the National Council for Industrial Development (CNDI) highlight the ambition of the project:
- GDP growth in agribusiness: increase by 3% per year until 2026 and 6% until 2033.
- Mechanization of family farming: increase from 23% to 28% by 2026 and reach 35% in 2033.
- Agricultural Technification: reach 43% of technification by 2026 and 66% by 2033.
In addition, the program includes strengthening key areas, such as the national production of agricultural machinery, biofertilizers and drones for precision agriculture.
Family farming in the spotlight
The role of family farming is essential in this plan. During the launch ceremony, President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva signed the decree that creates the National Research and Innovation Program for Family Farming and Agroecology.
The objective is to ensure that small producers have access to the technologies necessary to improve their productivity and adopt sustainable practices.
According to the Ministry of Agrarian Development (MDA), The agroecological transition is one of the priorities of this new policy. This includes research aimed at more resilient planting systems that reduce the use of chemical pesticides.
In addition, the government signed a technical cooperation agreement with Brazilian Association of Machinery and Equipment Industry (Abimaq) to expand family farmers’ access to modern and efficient equipment.
The role of Banco do Brasil and other financial partners
Another highlight of NIB is the inclusion of Bank of Brazil as one of the main financial arms of the project. With R$101 billion in exclusive credit lines, the bank reinforces the government's commitment to providing direct financial support to agricultural and industrial modernization initiatives.
In addition, there are partnerships with other banks and financial institutions that should complement the resources available to entrepreneurs and farmers.
Sustainability and innovation: pillars of the program
One of NIB's major focuses is sustainable development. This includes:
- National production of biofertilizers, reducing Brazil’s dependence on imported inputs.
- Encouragement of the use of drones and precision technologies, allowing greater efficiency in planting and harvesting.
- Support for the manufacture of agricultural machinery with less environmental impact.
According to CNN Brazil These efforts are aligned with global decarbonization and energy transition goals, making Brazil an example of a country that seeks to align economic growth and environmental preservation.
Economic and social impacts
The expected benefits go far beyond the growth of TAX ID No. The New Industry Brazil seeks:
- Create thousands of jobs in industrial and agricultural sectors.
- Encourage the development of small and medium-sized companies that provide services and technologies for agriculture.
- Increase Brazil's competitiveness in the international market.
Challenges in sight
Despite the optimism, experts point out important challenges:
- Bureaucracy: the achievement of goals depends on efficient management and the reduction of bureaucracy in processes.
- Private partnerships: although the volume of private investment is significant, there are uncertainties regarding the sector's full engagement.
- Poor infrastructure: the lack of an adequate logistics network can limit positive impacts, especially in more isolated regions.
The New Brazilian Industry promises to revolutionize the agricultural and industrial sector, placing Brazil in a prominent position on the global stage.
But the success of the program will depend on well-planned execution and alignment between government and private sector.
