Botucatu, São Paulo, March 17, 2026 – Embraer (NYSE: EMBJ / B3: EMBJ3), will exhibit during the Show Safra Mato Grosso 2026, the top-selling cropduster in the agricultural aviation market in Brazil, the Ipanema 203. The event will take place between March 23 and 27, at the Parque Tecnológico da Fundação Rio Verde de Pesquisas, in Lucas de Rio Verde (MT).
"The Mato Grosso region is the largest grain producer in the country and the one that uses the most agricultural aircraft in strategic crops such as soybeans, corn and cotton, which demand increasingly high efficiency and productivity. The ethanol-powered Ipanema 203 is a strong ally in aerial spraying, because in addition to optimizing these results, it combines technology, tradition, robustness and low operating costs", says Sany Onofre, leader of Embraer's Agricultural Aviation.
The aircraft, a sales leader in the Brazilian agricultural aviation market and a pioneer in the use of ethanol, can spray more than 200 hectares per hour, delivering a regular application at constant speed, without soil kneading or dissemination of pests by contact, generating a result for the field of up to 15 more bags per hectare. "The agricultural sector is one of the main markets in the country and we are ready to help our customers and operators boost their business," says Sany.
In addition to participating in the main events in the agricultural sector with the Ipanema 203, Embraer promotes flight safety at and outside of events by carrying out an intense agenda of initiatives focused on topics such as preventive inspections, safe environment, good practices for pilots, mechanics and operators, etc. For years, for example, 100% of agricultural pilot training classes in Brazil have attended a lecture by the Ipanema customer support team, ensuring that the culture of flight safety is absorbed from the beginning of the agricultural pilot's professional life.
According to the organization of the event, the forecast is that more than 190 thousand people will visit this edition, which will be attended by more than 600 exhibitors and a landing and takeoff runway inside the park.
