On an agenda in the North of Minas, presidential candidate Romeu Zema from NOVO stated that Brazilian agribusiness is efficient "from the gate inward," but pays a high price "from the gate outward" due to the country's lack of infrastructure. During a visit to the construction works of the bridge linking São Francisco and Pintópolis, over 1,100 meters long, Zema argued that without structural works it is impossible to transport harvests competitively. The presidential candidate promised more investments in the sector if elected.
