Rio Grande do Sul confirms a new avian influenza outbreak in wild birds, raising biosecurity alerts while Brazil's agro GDP surges.

The episode opens with a news roundup, highlighting a confirmed avian influenza focus in wild birds in Rio Grande do Sul's Taim Reserve, detected on February 28 and analyzed by the Federal Laboratory of Agropecuária Defense in Campinas. It then reports on Brazil's 2025 economic performance, where the GDP grew 2.3%, driven by agropecuária, services, and industry, with agropecuária specifically advancing 12% due to record corn and soybean production. Infrastructure news covers Porto de São Sebastião's historic January, moving 133,000 tons of cargo, primarily sugar and gasoline exports, with expectations to reach 1.6 million tons in 2026. The episode shifts to international tensions, discussing how the war in Iran threatens global energy markets and Brazil's agribusiness, which relies on imported diesel for 25% of its consumption. An interview with biodiesel specialist André Lavor explains that increasing biodiesel blending can reduce import dependency by 800 million liters per percentage point, enhancing energy security. Other segments include a weather forecast predicting heavy rain in north and northeast Brazil, an advertisement for the Expo Direto Cotrijal fair, and market updates like rice prices in Rio Grande do Sul. The episode closes with Mato Grosso do Sul's agro GDP growth of 18.5% in 2025, attributed to technology and diversification, and ends with agricultural rates before signing off.
