Brazil Debates Bill 699/2023, The Profert, Which Provides A Series Of Fiscal And Financial Incentives To Reduce The Country’s Strong External Dependence — Today At 85% — And Strengthen The National Industry.

Representatives from the Superior Council of Agribusiness (Cosag) met on Monday (15) at Fiesp’s headquarters in São Paulo to discuss Bill 699/2023, known as Profert.

The proposal aims to create benefits to boost domestic fertilizer production and reduce Brazil’s external dependence.

Attendees included members from the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock (Mapa), the Legislative, academia, and the productive sector, who demonstrated political alignment and willingness to approve the measure.

The Project Provides For Exemptions And Financial Incentives

Bill 699/2023 is authored by Senator Laércio Oliveira, who stressed the urgency of strengthening the domestic fertilizer industry as a means of ensuring food security and national sovereignty.

Generally, the Profert proposal provides for tax exemptions on goods and services purchased in Brazil or imported for fertilizer production, as well as exemptions on natural gas used in the industrial process.

The proposal also creates presumed PIS/Cofins credits, allowing companies to recover 9.25% on inputs used in manufacturing.

Another measure included is the creation of a financing mechanism through incentivized debentures, with income tax exemption for individual investors.

During the meeting, the advisor of the Executive Secretariat of Mapa, José Carlos Polidoro, presented existing opportunities in the Brazilian fertilizer market.

He stated that the sector is expected to generate US$ 240 billion by 2030, with US$ 82 billion in green and technological solutions alone.

He also mentioned the Green Path Brazil Program, which aims to recover degraded areas, and recalled that fertilizers account for about 20% of greenhouse gas emissions in the country’s agriculture.

Bioinputs Stand Out In The Debate

The executive director of the National Association for the Dissemination of Fertilizers (Anda), Ricardo Tortorella, advocated for a public policy to increase fertilizer production in Brazil. According to him, increasing national production could double Brazil’s agricultural capacity.

Professor Átila Francisco Mogor from the Federal University of Paraná highlighted bioinputs as a sustainable alternative that reduces dependence on imported inputs and improves soil fertility.

Researcher Cristhiane Oliveira Amâncio from Embrapa Agrobiology emphasized the positive socioeconomic impacts, such as job creation and regional development.

In the end, participants reaffirmed their commitment to mobilize political support to approve the Profert in the National Congress and ensure presidential sanction.

Bioinputs Stand Out In The Debate

In the cold desert of Ladakh, where it hardly rains, engineer Sonam Wangchuk created the ice stupa, a tower that freezes winter water and stores it for irrigating crops in the spring, a simple engineering feat that mimics nature.

Almost 6,000 residents live concentrated along a single street nearly 9 km long in the interior of Poland. Houses form a continuous row, and behind them, narrow agricultural strips emerge, creating one of the most unusual rural patterns in Europe.

They planted a sea of eucalyptus to produce cellulose, but the monoculture turned into a green desert, dried up springs and rivers, and pushed families out of regions in Minas Gerais and Bahia.

Júlia Pimentel, an 11-year-old from Minas Gerais, independently invented a new formula to calculate the square root using simple addition and multiplication, and her method was published in one of the most important mathematical scientific journals in Brazil.

Chinese woman planted trees for decades while sand buried part of her house, received $5,000 from an American in 1999, and helped transform the desert into a forest of 8 million trees in China.

Heir bought 23,000 degraded acres in the Scottish Highlands, fenced the area, planted nearly 1 million native trees, and transformed empty mountains into a forest officially recognized after meeting 15 evaluation criteria over 20 years.

The Atacama Desert, the driest place on Earth, was covered in flowers and turned into a colorful carpet with more than 200 species in the phenomenon called “desert bloom,” when atypical rains awaken seeds that had remained dormant in the soil for many years.
