Secretariat of Rural and Agribusiness Development (Sedrae)

The Secretariat of Rural and Agribusiness Development, commonly referred to as Sedrae, plays a pivotal role in supporting the agricultural sector, including the dairy industry. Sedrae has directed its efforts towards more than 2,500 producers and micro, small, and medium-sized agricultural enterprises.

Support and Services

Sedrae's support encompasses a wide array of services designed to enhance the operational capacity of agricultural entities. This includes the provision of farm machinery, which is essential for modernizing farming practices and increasing productivity. Furthermore, Sedrae facilitates upgrades to dairy barns and other livestock facilities, ensuring that they meet contemporary standards and are equipped to handle increased production demands.

Additionally, Sedrae provides equipment for agro-industrial workshops, which are crucial for the processing and value addition of agricultural products. This support is complemented by preferential financing options through programmes such as Agrocrédito, which offer financial assistance tailored to the needs of agricultural enterprises.
