00:00:00 - 00:10:00

In the YouTube video titled "Pará starts tracking dendê production in the state," the speaker introduces a new initiative by the Pará state government to increase transparency and control in the palm oil industry, which is the largest in Brazil. Led by Lucion Nila Pimentel of the Agricultural Defense Agency of Pará (ADEPAR), the project aims to create an official database of the dendê production chain, provide recognition and quality certification for producers, and ensure fair competition, prevent the entry of exotic pests, and combat illegal practices. The Guia de Tránsito Vegetal (GTV) document will trace the production from the origin of the raw material on farms to industries. The initiative also focuses on sustainability, protecting farmers, preventing land invasions, and ensuring fitosanitary protection for other crops. The implementation of new processes in the production chain of dendê in Pará faces initial challenges, but the Defensa Agropecuária of Pará is promoting fair competition and ensuring that producers' products are accompanied by property guarantees. The focus is on the region of Vale do Acará, which has the largest area of dendê plantation in the state.

• 00:00:00 In this section of the YouTube video titled "Pará starts tracking dendê production in the state", the speaker announces a new initiative by the Pará state government to track the production of dendê (palm oil) starting in May 2023. The project, led by Lucion Nila Pimentel of the Agricultural Defense Agency of Pará (ADEPARA), aims to increase transparency and control in the palm oil industry, which is the largest in Brazil, producing around 2.9 million tonnes of fruits and employing thousands of farmers and independent producers. The Guia de Trânsito Vegetal (GTV) is a document that will trace the production from the origin of the raw material on farms to industries, providing recognition and quality certification for producers. This public policy will help increase market reach, ensure fair competition, prevent the entry of exotic pests, and combat illegal practices in the palm oil supply chain.
• 00:05:00 In this section of the YouTube video titled "Pará starts tracking the production of dendê in the state," the speaker discusses the importance of sustainability in the agricultural sector, specifically in the production of dendê oil in Pará, which employs over 2500 family farmers. The goal is to create an official database of this productive chain and identify challenges related to environmental, social, cultural, and labor aspects. The state's agricultural agency, DEPAR, has an online system called CIG Agro for producers to register and obtain a certificate of transit vegetal, ensuring the quality of the product and preventing clandestine production and transportation. The registration process includes a checklist for the producer, establishment, and production unit, and all necessary documentation can be found on DEPAR's website. This initiative aims to protect farmers, prevent land invasions, and ensure fitosanitary protection for other crops, such as copaçu and castanha do Pará.
• 00:10:00 In this section of the YouTube video titled "Pará starts tracking the production of dendê in the state," the speaker discusses the initial challenges of implementing new processes in the production chain of dendê in Pará, Brazil. The Defensa Agropecuária (Agency of Agricultural Defense) of Pará plays a role in promoting fair competition among agents in the chain and ensuring that producers' products are accompanied by property guarantees. The focus is on the region of Vale do Acará, which has the largest area of dendê plantation in the state, with over 100,000 ha out of the 230,000 ha planted. An organization is being set up in the region to oversee the sector, and the speaker expresses optimism about the initiative despite the initial difficulties. Lucion Pimentel from the Defensa Agropecuária of Pará is responsible for the fiscalization and control of this process.
