Sustentabilidade no Plano Safra 2024-2025

The policy brief outlines recommendations for the 2024-2025 Plano Safra, focusing on restricting credit for properties linked to deforestation, creating incentives for sustainable practices aligned with the Brazilian Sustainable Taxonomy, and improving credit access for small-scale farmers via Pronaf. It also suggests harmonizing social and environmental restrictions across rural insurance programs like PSR and Proagro to mitigate climate risks and promote low-carbon agriculture.

• The document argues that rural credit should be prohibited for properties involved in illegal deforestation, requiring financial institutions to verify previous deforestation and monitor for new occurrences. It notes that BNDES has implemented this since February 2023.
• The brief proposes that subsidized rural credit should not be granted to any property with deforestation, whether legal or illegal, to support the goal of zero deforestation by 2030. It highlights that the 2023/2024 Plano Safra directed R$ 13.6 billion in credit subsidies.
• There is a call to establish differentiated financing conditions, such as interest rate discounts or increased credit limits, for sustainable agricultural practices. These criteria should align with the Brazilian Sustainable Taxonomy being developed by the Ministry of Finance.
• The document identifies a gap in credit access for small farmers, stating that only 15% of family farmers in Brazil access credit. It recommends prioritizing the most vulnerable producers through Pronaf to increase productivity and reduce deforestation pressure.
• The brief suggests that subsidies for the Rural Insurance Premium Subvention Program (PSR) should follow the same social, environmental, and climate restrictions as rural credit, including checks on the CAR (Environmental Rural Registry) status and Public Forest Type B areas.
