What Secretaria de Estado da Agricultura e do Abastecimento - Paraná does

Secretaria de Estado da Agricultura e do Abastecimento do Paraná (SEAB) is the state government department responsible for agricultural policy, rural development, food security, and supply coordination in the state of Paraná, Brazil. Headquartered in Curitiba and founded in 1944, SEAB operates through four internal units — Deagro (agriculture), Deral (rural economics and statistics), Deflop (florestry and plants), and Desan (animal health) — and coordinates three linked state-owned entities: Adapar for agricultural defense, Ceasa for wholesale supply markets, and IDR-Paraná for rural research and technical extension. Service delivery is supported by 24 Regional Nuclei that cover all 399 municipalities in Paraná, and by the PIÁ (Paraná Inteligência Artificial) digital platform used for citizen-facing services.

The department's active program portfolio comprises roughly 30 initiatives organized across five strategic axes: food security (Banco de Alimentos, Cestas Solidárias, Programa de Aquisição de Alimentos), sustainable and family-farmer production (PAA, Paraná Mais Orgânico, Revitis), productive inclusion (Minha Propriedade Rural, Pecuária Moderna, Irriga Paraná), competitiveness and income (Plano ABC+, Paraná Energia Rural Renovável), and rural infrastructure (Estradas Rurais, Saneamento Rural). SEAB does not generate commercial revenue; it is funded through the state budget of Paraná and delivers services free of charge to farmers, cooperatives, municipalities, and vulnerable populations. The department also interfaces with federal food-security programs and supports compliance initiatives such as the LGPD compliance handbook for data protection governance.
