CONAFER and Terra Bank Partner to Finance Genetic Improvement Projects

The CONAFER and Terra Bank agreed to finance R$ 5 billion for new reproductive biotechnology projects, including the successful +Pecuária Brasil program, which is Brazil’s largest genetic improvement program. This partnership aims to enhance access to effective reproductive biotechnology for producers, promote sustainable agricultural models, and ensure environmental conservation. In addition to funding existing programs, Terra Bank plans to support new initiatives like +Genética no Sertão, which provides genetic improvement for livestock in northeastern Brazil. The initiative also aims to facilitate better credit access for farmers, particularly focusing on small-scale agriculturalists.
