In the YouTube video "Pantanal: more cattle farmers in the Pantanal region are adopting sustainable and organic beef production," Eduardo Cruzeta, president of the BPO, discusses the rising trend of certification for sustainable cattle farming in the area. There are currently over 130,000 animals slaughtered under this protocol, representing a 30% increase from 2022. The government of Grosso do Sul has launched a program to support and value these farmers, with a focus on traceability and environmental and legal compliance. The number of abattoirs in the region has also grown, indicating the success of the program. Farmers are encouraged to progress to the final phase of production, and the program aims to further value Pantaneiro beef through consumer recognition and premium pricing. The value of the beef has already increased from 8 million to 12 million reais, and is expected to continue rising due to market incentives. The farmer community is eager to join this sustainable group, with potential for a 10 to 20% price increase for farmers selling domestically.

He mentions that there is a growing number of certifications issued to local farmers and the upcoming launch of a geographical indication seal for the biome. According to Cruzeta, there are currently over 120 sustainable cattle farmers in the area, representing a 30% increase from 2022. These farmers are preserving the environment while ensuring animal welfare. The government of the state of Grosso do Sul identified this opportunity and launched a program to help and value the sustainable cattle producer. The program aims to meet current societal demands, such as traceability and a production system adjusted to environmental and legal requirements. The number of abates (slaughterhouses) in the region has also been growing, indicating the success of the program. The farmers are now being encouraged to progress to the final phase of production, which is the abattoir. This trend has been met with increasing interest from local producers, and the program aims to further value the Pantaneiro (local) beef by seeking consumer recognition and premium pricing. Over 130,000 animals have been slaughtered by farmers following this protocol, demonstrating the growing trend towards sustainable beef production in the Pantanal region.
