A financing line will be available to farmers in São Paulo starting in November, with the objective of stimulating actions in sustainable agriculture. There will be four projects supported by the Family Agribusiness Bank (Feap / Banagro): Sustainable Agriculture Paulista; Sustainable Animal Production Paulista; Aquaculture and Sustainable Fishing Paulista; and Sustainable Rural Development Paulista.
According to Feap’s executive secretary, Fernando Aluizio Penteado, the aim of the new lines is to bureaucratize producers’ access to resources. “The rules will be simpler, as will the credit analysis by the financial institution and the preparation of the financing project by the Coordination of Integral Technical Assistance (Cati). Everything so that the rural producer has less doubts in accessing the lines, “explained Penteado.
“The simplification of the Feap rules integrates the Agrofácil Program, to facilitate the life of the rural producer, so that he can focus his production, in the generation of income and jobs, an orientation of the governor Márcio França,” recalled the Secretary of Agriculture and Supply , Francisco Sergio Ferreira Jardim.
Each line already has R $ 10 million available and can be accessed by producers who have the Feap Aptitude Statement (DAF). Those who do not have and wish to issue new DAFs can apply for the Feap-Net system as of November.
Feap also defined as a single rule the gross annual agricultural income limit of R $ 1 million, to qualify as beneficiary in the lines, allowing a greater number of accessions. The gross annual agricultural income considers all the revenue originating from agricultural production, vegetable or fishery extractivism and other income from activities, and must represent at least 50% of the total gross annual income.
