Botucatu, São Paulo, November 19, 2025 – Embraer (NYSE: EMBJ/B3: EMBJ3), one of the global leaders in the aerospace sector, celebrated the delivery of the 1,700th Ipanema cropduster. The aircraft, in the current EMB-203 version, is a sales leader with approximately 60% market share and will be used for spraying various crops by a customer in the city of Imperatriz, Maranhão.
"The delivery of unit 1,700 represents an important milestone in the history of this aircraft, which is synonymous with high productivity, efficiency, low operating cost and sustainability in the sector," said Sany Onofre, leader of Embraer's Agricultural Aviation. "We are extremely proud to see how Ipanema continues to contribute strongly to the development of the agricultural sector over the years."
With more than 180 units sold in the last three years, the aircraft continues to be preferred by rural producers and offers a wide range of equipment aimed at boosting productivity and precision with sustainability. With an efficiency equivalent to four large ground sprayers operating simultaneously, the ethanol-powered aircraft sprays more than 200 hectares per hour, delivering a high-quality application without kneading the soil or spreading pests by contact, generating a result for the field of up to 15 bags more per hectare.
In addition to participating in the most important events with the Ipanema 203, Embraer has also been promoting Flight Safety during the events, with an intense agenda of initiatives in the field dealing with topics such as preventive inspections, a safe environment, and good practices for pilots, mechanics and operators. Currently, 100% of agricultural pilot training classes in Brazil include a lecture from the Ipanema customer support team, ensuring that a strong safety culture is instilled from the start of an agricultural pilot's professional life.
