THE ROLE OF PUBLIC POLICIES IN THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF BRAZILIAN AGRIBUSINESS: IMPACTS AND CHALLENGES

Abstract

Brazilian agribusiness plays an essential role in the national economy, contributing to GDP, job creation, and a balanced trade balance. However, the sector faces challenges related to economic, social, and environmental sustainability. Public policies, such as tax incentives, rural credit, and technical assistance, are essential to modernize the sector, promote the inclusion of small producers, and foster sustainable agricultural practices. Thus, this article explores how public policies influence the growth and sustainability of agribusiness in Brazil, addressing issues such as tax incentives, rural credit, technical assistance, innovation and technology, and environmental sustainability. The study discusses the impact of public policies on productivity, social inclusion of small producers, environmental preservation, and compliance with international sustainability commitments, such as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The analysis highlights the need for integrated, inclusive, and efficient public policies to strengthen agribusiness, promoting social inclusion and environmental preservation.
