The largest agricultural technology event in the country, Agrishow, canceled its opening ceremony that would take place this Monday (1st).
The cancellation comes amid a controversy with the federal government after Banco do Brasil canceled its sponsorship of the event due to the Minister of Agriculture Carlos Fávaro being turned away from participating in the event and the presence of former President Jair Bolsonaro (PL) .
