CFTA

The Federal Council of Agricultural Technicians (CFTA) is a Brazilian federal autarchy established to register and support agricultural technicians and regulate their professional practice. Based in Brasília, it serves professionals, companies, educational institutions, and the public through online services, guidance, and oversight. Agricultural technicians can use the CFTA portal to apply for or check professional registration, update their details, consult fees, obtain registration and good-standing certificates, and learn about recognized fields and professional modalities. The council also provides information and services for company registration and verification.

A central part of its work is managing Technical Responsibility Terms (TRTs), which document professional responsibility for services, positions, agricultural prescriptions, rural credit, and other activities. Users can consult TRT fees and verify document authenticity. The CFTA publishes regulations and guidance on technicians’ duties, offers tutorials and educational presentations, and provides channels to submit or track complaints. Through news, webinars, digital resources, and public service support, it promotes professional regularity, qualified practice, and awareness of the responsibilities associated with agricultural technical work.
