Ronaldo Caiado

Economy
Caiado's registered government plan proposes a fiscal-adjustment program built around what it calls a Budget of Truth, auditing existing subsidies and tax benefits and controlling the growth of mandatory spending below nominal GDP growth while enforcing the constitutional spending cap, explicitly ruling out a strategy built on successive tax increases or across-the-board cuts. The plan sets a goal of raising Brazil's investment rate from roughly 17% to 25% of GDP by lowering the cost of capital and strengthening legal certainty for private investors, with the state's own role concentrated on infrastructure and innovation while private capital finances production.

Agriculture/Food
On agribusiness, Caiado's platform proposes a strategy it calls biocompetitividade, integrating food production, bioenergy, biotechnology and sustainability into ten-year sectoral plans covering proteins, grains, biofuels and bioinputs, including a dedicated bioenergy program expanding ethanol, biodiesel, biomethane and bioelectricity output. He proposes a five-year pluriannual harvest-financing plan for producer predictability, a National Fertilizer Plan to expand domestic potassium and nitrogen production, and channeling private capital-market instruments such as CRA, Fiagro and CPR alongside public resources reserved for guarantees, insurance, irrigation and storage. The plan also calls for a Brazilian sustainability seal and carbon-credit certification to support export diversification toward Southeast Asia, the Middle East and Africa, paired with large-scale land-title regularization framed as a foundation for legal security and agricultural credit access.

Security
Caiado's security plan would create a dedicated Ministry of Public Security and classify criminal organizations and militias with permanent command structures, territorial control, armed capacity and systematic violence — naming the PCC and Comando Vermelho specifically — as domestic terrorist groups; he has said that "the absence of ideological motivation will not prevent this classification." The plan sets minimum sentences of 45 years for association with or recruitment into such organizations and 35 years for financing or money laundering on their behalf, alongside special penitentiary regimes with leadership isolation and progression only after 90% of a sentence is served, and proposes lowering the age of criminal responsibility to 16 for serious crimes including homicide and armed robbery. Along Brazil's borders, he proposes a National Border Command empowered to deploy the Armed Forces without a prior Law-and-Order decree and a transnational police-coordination body for investigating organized crime across South America, alongside a ban on online gambling advertising across mass media and social networks and a new national secretariat for the safety of women, children and minorities.

Health
Caiado's health platform proposes replacing the SUS's chronological waiting-list system with an intelligent national access and regulation system that orders care by clinical priority, severity and risk of disease progression, backed by interoperable electronic health records feeding a national health-data infrastructure meant to ensure continuity of care across primary, specialist, hospital and emergency services. The plan sets a target of cutting median wait times for high-demand priority procedures by half by 2030, alongside expanded cardiovascular-disease and cancer prevention, pediatric and geriatric care, and an expanded Psychosocial Care Network that includes treatment for gambling-related dependency. On women's health, it targets a 30% reduction in maternal mortality by 2030 along with expanded cancer screening and dedicated endometriosis and menopause care within primary care.

Education
In education, Caiado proposes a National Pact for Literacy and Mathematics aimed at universal child literacy and math proficiency by the end of second grade, combining teacher training and pay improvements, evidence-based teaching materials, and regular diagnostic assessments with incentives for schools that show measurable progress. The plan also calls for expanded full-time schooling and daycare access alongside continued investment in technical and vocational education.

Infrastructure
On logistics, the plan proposes a ten-year infrastructure program organizing transport investment around strategic corridors, prioritizing completion of the Ferrogrão and Ferrovia Norte-Sul railways along with regional waterway routes, paired with expanded storage capacity tied to the five-year harvest-financing plan. It also proposes expedited licensing for rare-earth and other strategic mineral extraction paired with requirements for domestic processing, aimed at capturing more value from Brazil's mineral resources rather than exporting them unprocessed.

Governance
On institutional reform, Caiado commits to submitting a constitutional amendment ending consecutive reelection for president, governors and mayors, applying even to terms beginning in 2027, arguing this would reduce the influence of the electoral calendar on governance and allow longer-term policy planning; he also proposes replacing the current proportional system with a mixed-district model combining territorial districts with party-list seats for legislative elections. The plan additionally proposes a management-by-results system for the federal government, with performance metrics and periodic evaluations for ministers and senior officials, merit-based appointments to federal positions, and greater transparency in how parliamentary budget amendments are allocated and spent.
