The municipality of Madalena hosted the first ADESCC meeting in 2026, a gathering that marked the beginning of the year with evaluation, dialogue, and definition of directions. The meeting provided a detailed review of achievements reached in 2025 and outlined the goals that will guide the organization's actions throughout this new cycle. One of the central points of the meeting was the drought situation in Sertão Central. The topic gained prominence given the direct impacts faced by rural producers in the region. During the meeting, accounts were heard, experiences were exchanged, and alternatives to reduce losses in the countryside were debated. As a concrete follow-up, ADESCC decided to prepare an official document, which will be sent to the competent authorities. The material will bring together the concerns of the productive sector and practical suggestions to address the effects of the drought, ensuring that the voice of Sertão Central is heard. The meeting reinforces ADESCC's commitment to regional development, defense of rural producers, and strengthening of the local economy. The work continues steadfastly, with planning, unity, and a focus on real solutions for those who live and produce in the Sertão.
