Introduction to the use of pesticides in Projeto Jaíba: The video begins with a visit to an okra plantation in Projeto Jaíba, in Minas Gerais, where the owner applies pesticides. The creator of the video highlights the importance of showing the reality of the use of pesticides in agricultural production in the region, which supplies large urban centers and exports food to other parts of Brazil and the world.
Impact of pesticides on plantations and the inevitability of their use: The video explains that practically all crops in the Jaíba Project, such as bananas, tomatoes, watermelon, pumpkin and others, use pesticides. Without them, plantations are severely affected by pests, compromising production. The presenter emphasizes that deforestation and changes in pest habitats have increased dependence on pesticides.
Challenges faced by local producers: There is specific mention of the problems faced by silver banana producers due to Fusarium, a disease that has spread throughout the region, making the production of this variety of banana difficult. The resistance of caturra banana and the use of laboratory seedlings are strategies tried by farmers to overcome this problem, but with limited success.
Bankruptcy of companies and the fight for certifications: The video mentions the company Pomar Brasil, which was unable to obtain ISO 9001 certification due to the use of pesticides and, therefore, closed. The presenter highlights that, despite efforts to monitor and record the use of pesticides, the local reality makes large-scale production without these products impossible.
Final reflection on food consumption and organic production: The video concludes by discussing the difficulty of finding truly organic food on the market. Even local producers face challenges in maintaining pesticide-free plantations. Small properties may be more successful in organic production, but large commercial plantations, especially in the Jaíba Project, depend on pesticides to maintain production.
