巴西总统大选的意外结果令农业企业领袖深感失望，路易斯·伊纳西奥·卢拉·达席尔瓦的胜利将给该国最重要的经济力量之一带来持续挑战。
The surprise result of Brazil’s presidential election is a major disappointment for agribusiness leaders, with Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s victory presenting continued challenges for one of the country’s most important economic forces.
巴西强大的农业游说团体曾公开支持右翼对手弗拉维奥·博尔索纳罗，致力于该行业事务的一群议员原本希望若博尔索纳罗获胜能更接近权力核心。卢拉的连任将使该团体继续稳居反对派阵营。
Brazil’s powerful farm lobby has openly supported right-wing opponent Flávio Bolsonaro, with the group of lawmakers dedicated to the industry’s cause hoping to get even closer to power if Bolsonaro won. Lula’s reelection will instead keep the group firmly in opposition.
“你们的声音不会被压制，”巴西农业核心小组最知名成员之一、参议员特雷莎·克里斯蒂娜表示。“我们将继续监督这届政府，为我们想要的国家而战，”她在社交媒体帖文中写道，并强调农业界支持的议员在国会选举中表现强劲。
“Your voices will not be silenced,” said Senator Tereza Cristina, one of the most prominent members of Brazil’s agriculture caucus. “We will be there to hold this government accountable and fight for the country we want,” she said in a social media post, highlighting the strong showing of farm-backed lawmakers in congressional elections.
农业核心小组经常指责卢拉偏袒小农户，损害大型商业生产者利益。与卢拉的紧张关系还反映了在土地权利、环境监管、税收以及政府对农业的支持（包括农业信贷和农作物保险）等方面的意识形态和政策分歧。该团体原本指望博尔索纳罗通过巩固公共财政和削减开支，迅速降低利率。
The farm caucus has frequently accused Lula of favoring small farmers at the expense of larger commercial producers. Tensions with Lula also reflect ideological and policy differences over land rights, environmental regulation, taxes and government support for agriculture, including farm credit and crop insurance. The group had expected Bolsonaro to move quickly to bring down interest rates by shoring up public finances and cutting spending.
另一位有影响力的成员阿纳尔多·雅尔丁在圣保罗一场会议间隙周一表示，该核心小组预计将聚焦于为陷入困境的农民提供救济措施。卢拉签署的一项旨在回应农民关切的临时措施被认为力度不足，并将在大约一个月后到期。
The caucus is expected to focus on measures to bring relief for struggling farmers, Arnaldo Jardim, another influential group member, said on the sidelines of a conference in Sao Paulo on Monday. A provisional measure signed by Lula to address farmer concerns was considered insufficient and is set to expire in roughly a month.
但雅尔丁和其他领导人也在寻求在一场紧张且极具分裂性的竞选活动后翻篇向前。
But Jardim and other leaders were also seeking to move on after a tense and divisive campaign.
“选举已经结束，现在我们必须关注农业面临的挑战，”贾尔迪姆说。“党团将与国会和行政部门合作，捍卫该行业的利益。”
“The election is over, and now we have to focus on the challenges facing agriculture,” Jardim said. “The caucus will work with Congress and the executive branch to defend the sector’s interests.”
蔗糖和乙醇集团尤尼卡首席执行官埃万德罗·古西表示，该行业的公共政策不取决于政府更迭，而巴西农业企业协会则呼吁有“能够帮助缓解国家分裂”的领导力。
Evandro Gussi, chief executive officer of sugar and ethanol group Unica, said the public policies for the industry do not depend on governmental shifts, while Brazilian Agribusiness Association asked for leadership “capable of helping ease divisions in the country.”
