Recomendações para o Plano Safra 2025-2026

The Climate Policy Initiative (CPI/PUC-Rio) proposes 13 measures to align the 2025/2026 Plano Safra with Brazil's climate goals. Key recommendations include restricting rural credit for properties with any deforestation (legal or illegal), aligning sustainable practice criteria with the upcoming Brazilian Sustainable Taxonomy, and improving the monitoring of pasture recovery projects. The brief also advocates for prioritizing vulnerable smallholders in the Pronaf program and harmonizing the socio-environmental restrictions of the Rural Insurance Premium Subsidy Program (PSR) with those of rural credit.

• The document proposes strengthening restrictions on rural credit for properties with illegal deforestation by requiring monitoring throughout the entire credit operation and expanding the cutoff date for deforestation to July 2008 to align with the Forest Code.
• It is argued that subsidized rural credit should not be granted to properties with any deforestation, whether legal or illegal, as public resources should prioritize producers who do not deforest and adopt sustainable practices.
• The brief recommends that the definition of sustainable agricultural practices for financing conditions be aligned with the Brazilian Sustainable Taxonomy, expected for release in mid-2025.
• Regarding pasture recovery, the document notes that over 25% of areas declared in the ABC Recuperação program did not correspond to pastures at the time credit was taken, and proposes that credit be restricted to actual degraded pastures, excluding recently deforested areas.
• The document highlights a gap in credit access for family farmers, stating that while they represent 75% of the country's rural properties, only 15% obtain credit.
• The brief proposes that the Rural Insurance Premium Subsidy Program (PSR) adopt the same socio-environmental and climate restrictions as rural credit, including the analysis of the Rural Environmental Registry (CAR) and restrictions on properties with illegal deforestation.
• To address increasing risks from climate change, the document suggests the operationalization of a public-private fund and the stimulation of reinsurance activities to ensure the solvency of insurance companies.
