Brazil is committed to take a leading position in the production of soybeans. The bean market is growing and increasingly attracting the interest of Brazilian producers, who exported 162,000 tonnes of soybeans in 2018.

Brazilian Institute of beans and legumes (Ibrafe) in partnership with the Global Confederation of legumes will hold the 7th Brazilian Forum of beans, pulses and special crops on 13 June in Rio de Janeiro.

Sector, according to the President Ibrafe Marcelo Eduardo Lueders, is now facing a "unique moment" with vegetarianism.

The Economist predicts that 2019 will be "the year of being vegan", expecting unprecedented and really overwhelming surge of supporters of this philosophy of life.

In Brazil, according to an April national survey last year, the percentage of the population who identifies with being a vegetarian, made up 14% of the respondents, representing 30 million people. This is equivalent to three times the number of inhabitants of Portugal, or half of Italy.

Just five years ago, the percentage of Brazilian vegetarians was 9%. That is, the market of consumers who want to avoid animal products, has reached a size that could no longer ignore no one agrogarant. And now it is important to be aware of "vegetarian" wave of products, investments and projects under development.

Brazilian agricultural community, in addition to soy, is considering the prospects of chickpea, interested in GM beans and, of course, news of the world market of vegetable proteins and associated opportunities.

It is expected that the Forum will bring together more than 1000 delegates involved in the increase in the consumption and marketing of crop legumes. Among them, producers, scientists, representatives of trade and logistics, exporters and importers, government officials and employees of various organizations.
