Family Farming Harvest Plan has R$44 billion equalized

Of the R$ 97.3 billion announced in the 2026/27 Family Farming Harvest Plan, R$ 44 billion are equalized, the Minister of Agrarian Development and Family Farming, Fernanda Machiavelli, informed this Wednesday (1) at a press conference.

The plan brings together rural credit, agricultural insurance, public purchases and technical assistance and rural extension actions aimed at family farming.

Of the total announced, R$85.2 billion will be allocated to the National Program for Strengthening Family Agriculture (Pronaf), the sector's main line of financing. According to the government, the volume represents an increase of almost 9% compared to the previous plan.

Within this amount, around R$30 billion will be allocated to production costs and approximately R$45 billion to investments.

During the press conference, the minister stated that the design of the plan was made within budgetary limits, and "we did not request any type of supplementation".

Machiavelli highlighted the reduction in interest rates and, according to her, "we managed to lower them because the Selic rate is better than last year, so we were able to lower them without extra fiscal effort", she said.

Default
In terms of debt, the government reported the expansion of credit limits in a context of debt renegotiation. According to the data presented, 530 thousand producers who were in default were reincluded after regularization. Of this total, around 70% of the debts were worth less than R$10,000.

The measures are part of the Desenrola Rural program, started in 2025 and continuing until December 2026, aimed at renegotiating debts of family farmers.

Regarding default, the minister stated that rates remain below 2% in the family farming segment and highlighted the importance of payment history for access to rural credit.
