The Agriculture Federation of the State of Rio Grande do Sul asked the Ministry of Finance to change dates for rural producers to pay their rural credit debts with financial institutions. The measure contemplates installments due or due in up to 60 days, as has normally been the case until last year.
Benefits in which the term exceeds 60 days will be treated differently, since these have already been paid by the financial agents to the BNDES and these amounts need to be returned. Only after this transition would it be possible to relocate the producer’s share. Agents and BNDES will meet next week to determine how the entire operation should work.
Farsul System chief economist Antônio da Luz represented the Federation at the meeting and said that the decision to be made depends on the number of producers in this situation. “If it’s an important group of producers involved, they are willing to do because the producer is being harmed by something that was not to blame. He did not change the rules of the game. If there was a legislative change that prevented compliance, there was a change in the contract. The producer can not pay for a change in which he had no participation, “he explains.
