Expointer 2023, held at the Assis Brasil State Exhibition Park in Esteio, Rio Grande do Sul, broke records in the Latin American agricultural market. Registering an increase of almost 6% in attendance and a notable growth of approximately 12% in turnover compared to the previous year, this event has established itself as the largest open-air agricultural fair in the region.
More than just a large-scale trade fair, Expointer stands out as an epicenter of innovation and opportunities for the agricultural sector. Attracting visitors eager to discover the latest trends in machinery, genetics, vehicles and financial systems, the fair represents an invaluable source of knowledge and potential business for the agricultural sector, not just in Rio Grande do Sul or Brazil, but throughout Latin America.
Recent figures released by the National Supply Company (Conab) indicate that Brazil is about to harvest a record crop, with an estimated grain production for 2022/2023 of 320 million tons, an increase of 17% over the previous cycle. These figures signal an optimistic time for Brazilian agribusiness.
Andhow does the FCC align itself with Expointer and Agribusiness?
FCC has a consolidated presence in various markets and applications through its products, and the agricultural sector is no exception. Specialists in sealing agro-industrial silos, we supply butyl seals to the main silo producers in Brazil. The application of FCC caulking compound in the construction of the structure guarantees the preservation of the grain, isolating it from moisture and dust. We also produce blanket kits for silo repairs and elastomeric coatings, which extend the useful life of the asset.
In the livestock industry, our adhesives play a crucial role in the manufacture of high-performance products. We supply adhesives used in the production of leather goods such as saddles and harnesses for horses, ensuring that these products meet the highest standards of quality, safety and durability required for competitions and everyday use in the field.
