He mentions the development of partnerships with the state government and the advancement of animal health and modern livestock projects. Despite low prices, the sector still managed to generate revenue and employment. The state is expected to grow by 6.2%, with agriculture and agroindustry contributing to 11% of the agricultural PIB growth. The prorogation of the rural environmental car registration was requested from federal deputies, ministers, and agricultural bancadas. The system for environmental ministry information technology is congested and not responding, but Mendes hopes for a quick resolution. The debate over the suspension of ICMS exemptions on agricultural exports in the Senate is causing concern, as it could negatively impact Paraná's agroindustry. Mendes believes that the agricultural sector grew significantly after the Kandir law due to the ability to export taxes, and the loss of 26 million reais in revenue from this sector is an absurdity. He emphasizes the importance of stimulating the economy to generate wealth and improve the lives of Brazilians. Mendes is optimistic about 2018, as the economy is showing signs of reactivation.
