The Brazilian Federal Government and the National Bioeconomy Commission (CNBio) have launched the second phase of the public hearing for the development of the National Bioeconomy Development Plan (PNDBio), the main planning tool for the bioeconomy in Brazil. This initiative aims to guide policies and investments to strengthen Brazil's bioeconomy over the next 10 years, setting goals, indicators, and public policies for the implementation of the National Bioeconomy Strategy (ENB), as established by Decree No. 12,044/2024.
Contributions from individuals or representative entities of the productive sectors may influence definitions, tax incentives, sustainability criteria, and the structuring of value chains. In this stage—complementing previous measures that specifically addressed socio-bioeconomy and payment for environmental services policies—components of biomass and bioindustry are being assessed, along with cross-cutting chapters on governance, financing, the national bioeconomy information system (SNICBio), and safeguards for the bioeconomy.
In addition to the cross-cutting chapters of the Plan, five strategic missions are under discussion:
(i) expansion of domestic production of biological inputs for health and well-being;
(ii) increasing the value of the agricultural sector through biotechnology for the generation of sustainable bioproducts;
(iii) strengthening the industrial capacity for bioproducts and biofuels;
(iv) sustainable intensification of biomass production with emissions reduction; and
(v) diversification of species and cultivars used in biomass production, prioritizing native biodiversity.
PNDBio will cover the period from 2025 to 2035 and will include specific targets and indicators to guide public policies and investments in the sector. Moreover, it will be part of the Federal Government's Ecological Transformation Plan and will align with other strategic initiatives such as the Climate Plan and the New Industry Brazil program, reinforcing the country's commitment to sustainable development and international agreements on climate and biodiversity.
