    Brazilian farmers clash with government over the authorization to import rice

    CNA argues that importing rice could destabilize the domestic rice production chain, causing price instability and harming local farmers.

    Brazilian farmers and government have clashed over the recent authorization to import rice, given the extraordinary floods and consequences suffered by the state of Rio Grande do Sul, the main producer the cereal. As a result of the situation the Brazilian Agriculture and Livestock Confederation (CNA) has filed a lawsuit against the federal government’s decision to authorize rice imports.
