Gustavo Ribas Neto launches campaign for FAEP presidency

The president of the Rural Union of Ponta Grossa, Gustavo Ribas Neto, has formalized the application to register his candidacy for the presidency of the Federation of Agriculture of the State of Paraná (FAEP). The board, called "FAEP of the Paranaenses", brings together union leaders from different regions of the state and intends to dispute the direction of the entity for the mandate from 2027 to 2030.

The documentation was registered on Wednesday (11), in Curitiba, as a receipt issued by the Federation. The registration received the number 12157/2026 and was presented at 11:26, with the relationship of 32 members that make up the board.

The application places Ponta Grossa and the Campos Gerais region in the spotlight in the dispute for the command of one of the main representative entities of the Paraná rural producers.

The FAEP election will be in January

According to the request submitted by Gustavo Ribas Neto, the election is scheduled for January 18, 2027, in first call. If a second or third call is required, the scheduled dates are January 28 and February 8.

The board brings together representatives of rural unions from various regions of the Paraná, including municipalities such as Toledo, Londrina, Laranjeiras do Sul, Campo Largo, Assis Chateaubriand, Paranavaí, Castro, Carambeí and others.

Among the names that make up the group are Nelson Gafuri, Edson Dornellas, Eliseu Fernando Telli, Marilis Borgo Karacheski, Valdemar da Silva Melato and Demerval Adilso Silvestre, nominated for the vice presidencies.

The composition also includes secretarial positions, financial directorate, suppléances, Fiscal Council and delegate representatives.

Ponta Grossa gains prominence in the dispute

At the head of the Rural Union of Ponta Grossa, Gustavo Ribas Neto heads the board that seeks to take over the management of FAEP for the next four years.

The Federation plays a strategic role in representing the interests of the agricultural sector in Paraná, participating in discussions related to rural production, agricultural policies, economic development and strengthening of rural unions.

The participation of a leadership of Ponta Grossa in the contest for the presidency of the entity expands the presence of Campos Gerais in the debate on the directions of the rural trade union representation in Paraná.

The region concentrates important activities related to agriculture, livestock, agribusiness and cooperativism, sectors that have significant participation in the state economy.

Registration still depends on analysis

Despite the protocol of documentation, the registration of the candidacy must still pass the evaluation of the electoral commission of the FAEP.

The receipt itself presented by the Federation clarifies that the receipt of the documents does not represent approval, referral or recognition of the regularity of the plate.

Thus, the formalization of the application represents a stage in the electoral process, but does not mean that the application is already approved.

The process will define the direction of the Paraná State Agriculture Federation for the period from 2027 to 2030.

Representativity of the agribusiness of Paraná

The FAEP System brings together 163 rural unions and acts in defense of the interests of producers in different regions of the state. Among the topics discussed by the entity are crédito rural, infrastructure, field security, electrical energy and policies to support agricultural production.

The dispute for the presidency of the Federation comes at a time of discussions on the challenges and opportunities of agribusiness, a key sector for the economy of Paraná.

The board led by Gustavo Ribas Neto brings together leaders from different municipalities and seeks to participate in the decisions that will guide the Federation's institutional performance in the next term.
