The carbon market is under construction in the country, but 70% of agribusiness entrepreneurs have no idea what it is and the mechanisms it offers. The assessment is by Marcello Brito, chair of the board of directors of Abag (Brazilian Agribusiness Association).

“We are in a learning process, but the market is built on trust, and we suffer from the lack of it in the international market”, he said. “Brazil’s image is damaged abroad. It’s the worst in the country’s history, regardless of the index used for verification”, he claimed.

Brito said, however, that Brazil should be one of the protagonists in this sector, and the country will not need to make any revolution to do so, since much of the struggle in the pursuit of zero carbon comes from criminality and illegality.
