The Brazilian Pecan Farming Institute (IBPecan) is calling for government support to help pecan farmers in Rio Grande do Sul, who are recovering from floods and an 80% loss in harvest. The institute is seeking R$176 million to cover damages and working capital for the industry.

The institute also emphasizes the need for strong support from the Brazilian Export and Investment Promotion Agency (ApexBrasil) to develop new products for these markets.
