ABOUT THE PCI STRATEGY
The PCI Strategy is a jurisdictional approach to sustainable rural development, bringing together public, private, and not-for profit actors around long-term goals in its three pillars: Produce, Conserve, and Include. It was launched in December 2015 at COP 21 with the objective of reducing emissions and enabling carbon sequestration through deforestation control coupled with the development of a low-carbon economy in the state. The strategy is based on building an agenda of convergence of interests in the state's agricultural economy, increasing (i) the efficiency of agricultural and forestry production (P axis); (ii) the conservation of remaining native vegetation and restoration of environmental liabilities (C axis); and (iii) the socioeconomic inclusion of family farming and traditional peoples and communities (I axis). The PCI (Produce, Conserve, and Include) strategy is fundamental for the state to achieve its goal of carbon neutrality by 2035. The PCI strategy aims to increase the sustainability of agricultural production by improving livestock productivity and expanding grain acreage on already cleared land; eliminate illegal deforestation; implement the Forest Code; reduce fires; and create financial compensation mechanisms to prevent legal deforestation. It also aims to support family farming and traditional and indigenous populations in accessing credit, technical assistance, institutional markets, and land regularization.
ABOUT THE PCI INSTITUTE
The PCI Institute is a private, non-profit organization, governed by the Government of Mato Grosso, the private sector, the productive sector, and organized by the civil society. Its objective is to support the state of Mato Grosso in raising and executing financial resources from national and international donors and investors for the implementation of the PCI strategy, promoting sustainable development and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The PCI Institute is regulated by Decree No. 46 of February 27, 2019, and by its Articles of Association

Recover 121,608 hectares of pasture with low productivity by 2023

Barra do Garças, located in the Middle Araguaia region, in the east of Mato Grosso, on the border with Goiás, is inserted in the Cerrado biome and has an area of 8,363 km². In 2022, it registered a population of 69,210 inhabitants and stands out as the "Capital of Araguaia", with one of the main economies in the state, reaching R$ 2.5 billion in 2021 and HDI considered high (0.748).
The economic dynamics of the municipality is strongly based on agriculture, which occupies about 42.6% of the territory. Of this total, pastures predominate (77%), and approximately 35% have low productive vigor. Grain production — especially soybeans, corn and cotton — has shown significant growth, with the expansion of the cultivated area in recent years driven by the adoption of technologies and market demand. The municipality also stands out for its abundance of water resources, with thousands of springs and an extensive drainage network.
The PCI Compact of Barra do Garças was built from an articulation between the state PCI, institutional partners and local actors, with the objective of establishing a common vision of sustainable development by 2030. Formalized in June 2019 through the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding — updated in 2026 — the Pact has the adhesion of more than 40 institutions from the public, private and civil society sectors.
The governance of the Pact was strengthened with the institution of the PCI Municipal Program by Law No. 4,156/2019 and the creation of the Management Council through Decree No. 4,381/2020, ensuring legal and institutional support for its implementation.
Since 2019, with the institution of the PCI Institute through State Decree No. 46, of February 27, 2019, and its legal formalization in 2023, the Institute has been acting in a structured way to strengthen the Pacts in the territories. The actions include the consolidation of local governance, the engagement of strategic actors, fundraising, the maintenance of active executive secretariats and the standardization of institutional instruments.
This process involves the creation and updating of legal frameworks, such as municipal laws, Memorandums of Understanding, and internal regulations, in addition to the implementation of a continuous routine of meetings for deliberation, monitoring of goals and indicators, analysis of results, and identification of local challenges and opportunities.&nbsp;

The program seeks to ensure that livestock production in Pará is sustainable, allowing products from farms to meet the needs of the requirements of markets, including international markets (Video available in: <span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Aptos',sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Aptos; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-ansi-language: EN-BR; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;" ><a href="https://www.adepara.pa.gov.br/node/518">https://www.adepara.pa.gov.br/node/518</a> ).
Data from the Agricultural Management System (SIGEAGRO) of the Agricultural Defense Agency of the State of Pará (ADEPARÁ) indicate that ParIt has the second largest herd in the country, with 26 million cattle, and the first in buffaloes with 782 thousand head of buffaloes, more than 70% concentrated in Marajó.
The program was established through Decree No. 3,533, of November 27, 2023, which instituted the "Program for the Integrity and Development of the Production Chain of Cattle Cattle in Pará" and created SRBIPA. &nbsp;Decree No. 4,754, of June 24, 2025, conferred on ADEPARÁ the strategic, financial and operational management of the Sustainable Livestock Program in Pará.
The program is managed by a Management Council (COGES), composed of representatives of several state secretariats, such as the State Secretariat for the Environment and Sustainability (SEMAS), State Secretariat for Agricultural Development and Fisheries (SEDAP), State Secretariat for Family Agriculture of Pará (SEAF), Agricultural Defense Agency of the State of Pará (ADEPARÁ), Land Institute of Pará (ITERPA), as well as representatives of organized civil society, the private sector and the third sector, composed of: Institute of Forest and Agricultural Management and Certification (IMAFLORA), The Nature Conservancy (TNC), Federation of Agriculture and Livestock of Pará (FAEPA), Federation of Industries of the State of Pará (FIEPA), Association of Breeders of the State of Pará (ACRIPARÁ), Brazilian Association of Meat Exporting Industries (ABIEC), Federation of Agricultural Workers of the State of Pará (FETAGRI) and Federation of Rural Workers and Family Farmers of the State of Pará (FETRAF).
