Brazillian Institute of Agribusiness

The Instituto Brasileiro de Direito do Agronegócio (IBDA) is an institute dedicated to the study and advancement of law and economics across Brazil’s agroindustrial systems. It examines the connected activities that make up agribusiness, from input supply and farming to processing, logistics, and food, fibre, and bioenergy distribution. Through education, research, and public discussion, IBDA works to deepen understanding of the sector’s legal framework and support a more secure business environment.

IBDA offers specialization and extension courses, focused training, and in-company programs on agribusiness law, alongside events and webinars. Its annual Brazilian Agribusiness Law Congress brings together discussions on issues affecting the sector. The institute also produces technical notes, practical guides, booklets, and other educational materials, and publishes books in partnership with Quartier Latin and the Brazilian Journal of Agribusiness Law (RBDAgro). Its “IBDA Explains” content presents current topics in an accessible format. Resources address subjects including FIAGRO investment funds, rural credit reorganization, and farmers’ access to capital markets, helping professionals and organizations engage with complex legal and economic questions.
