Santo Antônio do Leverge, Mato Grosso, August 15, 2025 – Embraer (NYSE: ERJ/B3: EMBR3) will participate in the Brazilian Agricultural Aviation Congress, an event that will take place from August 19 to 21 in Santo Antônio do Leverge (MT), with the theme “A look to the future”. The company will exhibit the top-selling cropduster in the Brazilian agricultural aviation market, the Ipanema 203, which has over 20 years of operation powered by 100% ethanol. It combines technology with robustness, delivers high productivity with precision, and still maintains low operational costs.

“The Brazilian Agricultural Aviation Congress, promoted by the National Union of Agricultural Aviation Companies (SINDAG), is a great opportunity for us to promote the news and trends in our sector,” says Sany Onofre, Embraer’s Agricultural Aviation leader. “Producers are increasingly looking for solutions that bring productivity, lower production costs and ensure operational safety.”

With more than 180 units sold in the last three years, the aircraft remains a top choice among operators and offers a wide range of equipment aimed at boosting productivity and precision with sustainability. With an efficiency equivalent to four large ground sprayers operating at the same time, the ethanol-powered aircraft sprays more than 200 hectares per hour, delivering a high-quality application without kneading the soil or spreading pests by contact, generating a result for the field of up to 15 bags more per hectare.

In addition to participating in the main events in the agricultural sector with the Ipanema 203, Embraer has also been promoting operational safety during the events, with an intense agenda of initiatives in the field dealing with topics such as preventive inspections, a safe environment, and good practices for pilots, mechanics and operators. Currently, 100% of agricultural pilot training classes in Brazil include a lecture from the Ipanema customer support team, ensuring that a strong safety culture is instilled from the start of an agricultural pilot’s professional life.
