Latin America Update

March Outreach and Regional Meeting

By José Alexandre Loyola, Regional Director

As the Brazilian soybean harvest season hits its peak this month I am looking forward to meeting with members and stakeholders at key agriculture events.

On 5 March I will represent AgGateway Latin America at the first in-person meeting of the Agrodigital Innovation Thematic Chamber (CTIAD) of the Ministry of Agriculture in Brasília/DF. I will have the opportunity to talk about the important connectivity and interoperability work and initiatives of our organization to the members of this Committee. This Chamber aims to foster technological innovation, rural connectivity, training, and finance (Agrofintechs) with the goal of strengthening ag technology ecosystems.

On 16 March, our member ANDAV (National Association of Agricultural and Veterinary Input Distributors) will hold an event in São Paulo for the inauguration of the new Board of Directors for the 2026/2027 biennium. I look forward to attending and representing AgGateway.

On 24 March, AgGateway will hold our first face-to-face members' meeting of 2026, hosted by member company CNH in Sorocaba. Important current issues will be discussed, and we will conduct a roundtable discussion with members to consider the projects (working groups) that will be focused on in 2026.
