Sharing Knowledge to Strengthen Brazil’s Agribusiness Exports

On September 23 and 24, Cotecna Brazil proudly participated in a technical training event organized by Sintecon Rio Grande, reinforcing our commitment to excellence, knowledge sharing, and the continuous development of the agribusiness sector.

During the event, Luiz Cavalcante, Technical & Operations Manager at Cotecna Brazil, shared insights gained from more than 15 years of experience in grain and meal sampling, soybean and corn grading, inspection, and certification activities. The discussions focused on operational and technical challenges associated with export processes, as well as best practices that help ensure quality, compliance, and confidence throughout the supply chain.

The program also addressed important regulatory topics, including quarantine pests, export requirements, and industry challenges faced by stakeholders involved in the international trade of agricultural commodities.

Being invited to contribute to this initiative reflects the confidence that Sintecon Rio Grande places in Cotecna Brazil’s technical expertise and operational experience, recognizing our role in supporting the industry through the dissemination of practical knowledge and internationally recognized inspection practices.

We would like to thank Sintecon Rio Grande and all participants for the valuable exchange of experiences and constructive technical discussions.

Following the success of this first edition, a second session has already been scheduled for October 22 and 23, continuing the dialogue on the key challenges and opportunities surrounding grain quality, grading, sampling, and export compliance.

At Cotecna, we believe that sharing knowledge contributes to safer operations, stronger compliance, and greater confidence across global agricultural supply chains.
