INCRA are a government organisation.

“The conference was attended by many seeking a just settlement to the land reform which is coming under pressure. We also met with one of the congressmen who is going to maintain contact with us. Previous to this we met with reps from CONTAG the source given by the Brazilian embassy when we visited them in London.”
