SINDAG, the Brazilian Agricultural Aviation Association, held its annual convention at the Santo Antônio do Leverger Airport (SWLV) in Mato Grosso from August 20 to 22, 2025. The Congresso da Aviação Agrícola do Brasil de 2024 (2024 Brazilian Agricultural Aviation Convention) was undoubtedly South America's biggest and best ever. Due to the rotation agreement signed between Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay, this event this year also doubled as the Mercosur Agricultural Aviation Convention, adding an international color to the event.
Even the 100 F heat did not keep a cumulative audience (each attendee counted each visit) of 4,851 visitors from visiting 224 exhibitors spread across 248,000 square feet. This year marks the first time the South American event has rivaled the Ag Aviation Expo. Sindag estimates that the deals closed during the event reached R$250 million reais or about $44.3 million US dollars.
This success is the result of the tireless work of the Sindag and Ibravag staff, specifically Sindag President Hoana Almeida Santos and her Executive Director Gabriel Colle, Operational Director Cláudio Júnior Oliveira and especially Administrative Coordinator Marília Luíze Schüller and Operational Coordinator Janete Lima, the last two who worked more directly organizing the event.
The 2025 Brazilian Agricultural Aviation Convention will occur in the same location in Santo Antônio do Leverger from August 19 to 21, 2025, while the Mercosur Convention should happen in the second half of July in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
