Expointer

Expointer is an agricultural show with national importance in Brazil that occurs every year in the Parque de Exposições Assis Brasil in the city of Esteio, in the metropolitan area of Porto Alegre in the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul.

Brazilian politician Raul Jungmann described the show as "a symbol of gaucho pride".

In 1999, Expointer was at the centre of a political dispute between state governor Olívio Dutra and landowners over land reform.

After the state landowner's association threatened to boycott the 99th edition of the fair in 2000, the Dutra government conceded a 30-day suspension of land audits and a new commission to examine the state's productivity indices to end the boycott threat.
