The expectation of entrepreneurs machinery and equipment industry is that 2016 is the year of the turn due to the devaluation of the real against the dollar – only now will stir with the price of goods for export – even if sales abroad in the first two months of the year have fallen 9.3%.
this was the only sector in this agribusiness which saw sales fall due to the economic crisis. In 2015, Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of Brazil’s Agriculture was R $ 263.6 billion, a 1.8% increase compared to the previous year, while the national economy shrank by 3.8%.
This perspective made until the Brazilian Association of machinery and Equipment (Abimaq) send a trade at the end of March charging the Federal Government policies for resumption of economic activity in the country.
the crisis affecting the market, affects other areas of society, since with it comes the drop in tax collection, which forces the government to carry out cuts in sectors ranging from education to health.
However, out of this tide, even with the cuts, as disclosed by the government last week, in which the Ministry of Education (MEC) will lose R $ 4.2 billion – equivalent to 11% of the budget – research begins to gain prominence.
in Sertaozinho, the Federal Institute of Science and Technology (IFSP) won a new building, expanding the campus of the institute, which offers degree courses in the areas of human resources, chemical and mechanical engineering .
the President of the National Center of the Sugarcane and Biofuels Sector Industries (Ceise BR), Paul Gallo, believes that investment in technology will fill a gap in the region, despite the investment in science and technology very low in the country.
“in general, the resources allocated to scientific production and innovation in the country are still very shy. The IFSP investments aim to fill this gap, “says Gallo, who explains that the courses will meet the demand for skilled labor, and the development of new technologies, which serve to meet the market requirements and aligning productivity and efficiency quest for increased competitiveness of the sector, which goes through crisis since the beginning of the decade.
the investment was R $ 10.7 million, for a building area of 6000 m², to build rooms classes, laboratories, libraries and administrative offices, which allows to the creation of new degree courses related to electrical engineering, scheduled to run from 2017, and the increase of actions focused on research and innovation.
“as an educator, I hope that our audience will accept education as a form of constant professional growth, independent of cyclic and acyclic crises. Everyone should keep in mind to be enabled before a crisis is essential to address it when it occurs, “added the director of the campus, Lacyr John Sverzut
