In 2023, 65 new agricultural aircraft were delivered Ipanema da Embraer, an increase of 18% compared to the previous year, totaling 1.600 units produced and delivered over the five decades of production. The expectation is to maintain the growth rate in 2024.
Growth in sales
The company has recorded continuous growth in sales since the launch of the new version of the EMB-203 model in 2020. The plan is now to increase production to 70 new agricultural aircraft this year.
“Agribusiness has a significant positive impact on Brazil’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and we are very pleased to see how Ipanema has contributed to the high productivity, efficiency and sustainability of the sector”, says Sany Onofre, Manager of Embraer’s Ipanema Program .
Leader in the national aerial spraying market, Ipanema presents innovations and improvements that increase robustness at a low operational cost and carbon emissions. Furthermore, the Ipanema is the only agricultural aircraft certified and produced in series to fly on ethanol, a renewable energy source that provides increased power to the aircraft's engine.
