The state, which produces 70% of Brazil's rice, faces significant losses, but there is no immediate risk of grain shortages.

Elias' father took care of the calves, and they have become inseparable companions. The calves try to hide from their owner when he goes to work in the fields but always return.

The animals receive a specific diet and undergo a readaptation process to ensure their health and well-being. The spaces are designed to mimic their natural habitats, and certain accommodations are made for animals from warmer regions. Norms and regulations are followed to maintain the animals' temperature and provide them with the necessary living conditions. Each animal has a name and is well-known to the team. Interaction with the animals is limited for their protection and to reduce stress. The sanctuary currently houses around 20 snakes, and they receive care and exposure to the public. The sanctuary also accepts exotic animals that are not native to Brazil, but they cannot be released into the wild due to environmental regulations.

Animals, including venomous snakes, are left homeless due to the floods. People should not harm these animals but instead try to relocate them to safer areas. The video also highlights the 6-year anniversary of Vale Agricola and a report on cebola production in the Netherlands. The Netherlands, with only a small percentage of its land above sea level, has managed to produce a large portion of its territory in horticulture, including cebola, with the help of advanced irrigation systems and pest control methods.

00:35:00 In this section of the Vale Agricola 317 YouTube video from May 18, 2024, the speaker discusses the Dutch onion production techniques and their competitiveness in the global market. The Netherlands is the second largest exporter of onions, with a capacity to process 140,000 tonnes per year. Their advanced storage facilities keep the onions in optimal conditions for up to a year, allowing them to export to countries like Brazil for as little as 4 cents per kilogram. The Dutch government supports onion production with fiscal incentives and advanced technologies have made farming 100% mechanized since the 1990s. The combination of temperature and humidity control in computerized systems ensures high-quality onions are stored for extended periods. Despite the lower production costs, the speakers mention that farmers still face challenges with the high cost of labor and chemicals, which can make prices higher for consumers.
00:40:00 In this section of the Vale Agricola 317 YouTube video from May 18, 2024, the discussion revolves around the Dutch production of onions and the impact of automated intelligence in the selection process. Currently, onion selection is done manually to remove rotten ones, but this is about to change as the first machine in the world to use artificial intelligence for onion selection is being completed. This machine not only selects onions based on size but also discards onions with internal and external defects. The Dutch export 90% of their onion production to over 140 countries, including Brazil. In years of low national production, European onions become a significant threat to the domestic market. Despite their global significance and sustainable production, the Dutch have faced protests from farmers who felt the need to speak out about the importance of their sector. The video then takes a brief interlude to discuss a rural tourism business before returning to Bonim, which offers a wide range of new and recycled tires for vehicles and agricultural machinery, ensuring quality in all processes. Bonim also provides automotive clutch and camber adjustments for trucks and has been doing so for over 30 years. The agricultural sector is constantly evolving, with some things remaining the same while others are always changing, and Cicobe is part of this evolution, supporting those with roots in the land by adapting to agricultural changes. Cebo Agro Fertilizers offers specialized fertilizers for winter crops like wheat, oats, and barley, using noble algae and animal manure to promote soil microbial activity and cover crops.

After seven days, the fertilizer is diluted with water and used around the base of plants, avoiding direct contact with the plant to prevent burning.
