2025.11.15-4 O Ministro Roberto Rodrigues no Momento Agrícola.mp3

[Music] We are back with the agricultural moment of this week here on the Radeo de Rádios do Agro. The association of seed producers of Mato Grosso. Aprosmart continues to work to ensure that the quality of the seeds that the producers need and deserve. Look, the agricultural moment of this week at COP30, at the climate conference here in Belém, is unparalleled. We already have Aldo Rebelo and now our eternal minister, Roberto Rodríguez, attends the presentation. He was invited to be the official representative of Agro at the climate conference here in Belém. Minister, when the conference comes out, we always leave with a load of impositions for the Brazilian agro business, right? Or is it the issue of zero killings, the same or legal, right? Or is it the issue of methane from our garden, which brings economic and social benefits so important to Brazil, that we can expect from this COP here in Belém, the Amazonian COP. Good morning. Good morning, thank you for the opportunity and it's true, seeds are the basis of everything. Without seeds, we won't grow anything. So congratulations from Aprosmart. Let's go. The COP, you've already said this more than once, is the COP of the climate, as all the COPs are. But it's true that it's in Brazil and Brazil is agro, so it's the first time that the world is looking at us. So it's a chance to show the world that the tropical agro to the Brazilian is a solution to the climate, and not only to the climate. I think the world today is shackled by four modern apocalypses, which are climate security, energy transition, social inequality and climate change. These four themes have to be solved under the penalty of the IMUs, where there is the degradation of democracy, the risk of universal peace, so much so that it has to end with that. And I have the conviction that it will end with that, it's the tropical agro. Latin America, Africa, sub-Saharan part of Asia, because here there is land in volume to increase production horizontally, and the production is very low, so the growth explosion of agriculture is here, food, energy, whatever you want. Making a rich and wealthy job in poor countries, therefore also reducing social inequality, and using the climate with a certain technology. So this opportunity has to be taken advantage of. And I think it's being taken advantage of. The Embrapa built here with the CNA and other institutions a vitrine that shows with excellence what is this transformation of Brazil. But to add to that, as a special envoy, I invited a group of technicians, scientists, scholars, academics, consultants, to listen to all the entities that sent to us, texts about projects, proposals, studies to be carried out from the COP. We prepared a document, a wide document that has two phases. The first part tells this story, which is what Brazil has been doing for 50 years with two The first part is the technology, science as a cause, and the second part is the result, sustainability and competitiveness. Production, productivity, employment, export, everything was done with public policies, with technology, and with the employment. The second part is a set of suggestions for the tropical countries to adopt this model. Obviously, all countries here, mentioned, do not have the same topography, the same climate, the same institutionalism that we have, but the model is replicable. Science, technology, employment is replicable. So, the expectation that I have is that this model, taken by the tropical world and financed by the developed world, and with more flexible commercial policies to prevent access to the market among these younger peoples, solves these four problems. Cement, energy, social, climate, and with that, solving the central action of humanity. What do you always say? Do you want peace? Will there be peace or not? Will there be hunger? Will there be peace or misery? So, solving these problems, we will create peace. My dream, my goal, as a special envoy, is that Brazil will be seen out there, finally, by its rural activity, as a sponsor of the universal peace. Yes, without a doubt, this, everything that was said here, surprises even the producers. The advances that we were able to have within our properties in the last few years, the second safra, of the Etanol de Milho, now, the Mbrapa... What is the intervention that is coming there with force? Yes, everything, then. For example, the Mbrapa now, this week, it updated that mandate of environmental protection. 29% of Brazilian environmental protection is within the properties, with the legal reserves and permanent preservation areas. The issue of agrotropical sustainability is indisputable. Just come here to know that it comes out impressed, right? Now, this is invisible to the world, the world doesn't want to see this. So, there are laws of zero destruction, carbon on the border... When will the group see what Brazil is doing, minister? Well, I think that this garden here in Mbrapa, this Betrini here in Mbrapa, just doesn't see who doesn't want. And the document we prepared is a sum of demands of 41 rural entities. Translated in English, of course. Only those who don't want to see will see. And then, something important is being said. It's not just foreigners who don't see. Brazilians also don't see. Not all Brazilians see. So, it's necessary that Brazil can, in terms of vision, do what has been done by the agro. I love the American Bang-Bang. Tcharton Resto, Kekedoga, John Wayne, blah, blah, blah. Those Caravanos I protest about soldiers. For what? To take the land of the Indians. It wasn't necessary here. What the Gauls did, because the Catarina, for the former Paulista, Mineiro, Capixá, the Nordecino, it was necessary, it was necessary. For the courage, for the race, for the race. It was supported by the government, in some cases, to get down, to get down. But it was for the race. There was no soldier protecting anyone. There was no Indian. But there was Cascabel. There was yellow fever. And we faced it. And we were not proud of that. The Americans, even today, the young Americans, are proud of what they did a century ago. We don't look at that. We lack the Brazilian society to understand what this country did for the agro. The West Central, 50 years ago, was an economic and population-economic gap. But today, it's the Maracanã, the World Food Cup. Emotional. Emotional. And the poor man doesn't have that emotion. I think this pride has to be awakened. Come and see Brazil, the real one. Come and see the Grotão. Come to Paulista Rui, it's not great. But come and see what Brazil did with scientists, dedicated, geneticists, grown, veterinarians, forest. Brazil has 10 million hectares of planted forest. Nobody knows that. The agro-energy, biofuels, the Etanodicana emits 10% of the CO2, which is the one in the middle. The biodegradation, 19% of the CO2, which I say... Nobody talks about that. Nobody talks about that. That's not funny. It's a sacrifice, death, suffering and pain. But it's done. It's done. I also get emotional, Minister. Because this is the story of my life, of my family. My brother and I are planting our 30th Manoa in Soja, in Campo Novo do Parecis. We're seeing the indigenous people planting 10,000 hectares in the indigenous reserve, being able to have a dignified life. What the agro did for so many people in the last 40 years, a recent story, we're still learning a lot. Now, a central issue, Brazil is responsible for at least 3% of the total emissions in the world. So, we're going to discuss the climate change solution now, without, we're practically without the two main countries, the US and China that don't come. In a way, Brazil incorporated in the actions and in the discourse the issue of climate change with the reduction of emissions. That's what we've done. How does this vision of a COP in the Amazon, with the lack of those who should be here to discuss the solution to the problem? We have to take this information to them. Even though they haven't heard it, but there are people here listening, paying attention and discussing. What I think is missing is lowering the discussion to the ground. Get out of the theory, the discourse of emissions, come to the ground. 3% of our emissions. Half of it is illegal development. Let's end this. We have to end this illegal development that's illegal in Brazil. We have to end it with the civilisation of the entire country, with the government, with the government. That's illegal. We've got the best forestry in the world. Our forestry is spectacular. But it's not fulfilled. The job is done. So we have to end what is illegal. Because out there, they think that the Brazilian protocol dismantles to plant soil in the Amazon, to do good things in the Amazon. It's not true. Who dismantles illegally is not an abuser. It's a bandit. So they compete with the government to end this. We have to end what's cool. Because our image, our architecture, spectacular, sustainable, very modern, technological. But it's messed up by the gang sin that wants to attribute to us. So we have to clean this. And then show to the government and to the world's agricultural academy that the agro-resilient is the most sustainable planet. And the crime is not ours. It's a bandit. He pays for the crime. And it's not ours. Very well. Minister Roberto Rodrigues, always a pleasure to talk to you. Congratulations for the work recognized from the north, south, east, west, for all the producers. And thank you once again for your participation here at the Agricultural Moment. Thank you for what you do. I see you every Saturday. And I trust you a lot that you are translating something fundamental. Showing something only. The truth. And with the truth, we will win any cause. So, that's it. Look, during the interview with Minister Roberto Rodrigues, when talking about our achievements, he got excited. And his eyes filled with tears. And mine too, of course. For everything we live, for everything we've done, for everything we can and will do, we deserve more recognition. Think about it. You are always very well informed and connected here at the Agricultural Moment. The quality segment is the base of great productivity that we all seek. The association of the producers of "Mato Grosso" segment, "Aprosmat" works with its associates to ensure the quality of the seeds that producers need and deserve. Seed of soja with minimum germination of 90%. Now it's certified. This is called respect to the consumer. That's all for today. So, until next week, with more "COP30" live from Belém, here at the Agricultural Moment, special for you. Until then!
