In a meeting held on Tuesday (6), representatives of the Parliamentary Front of Agriculture (FPA) expressed concern about the rapid use of resources reserved to meet the agricultural policy in the biennium 2018/2019
“There is already an imminent lack of resources destined to agriculture, be they for credit and rural insurance or for guarantee of income, fomentation and commercialization of the agricultural sector. It is an alarming situation that undermines the safety and competitiveness of Brazilian agricultural production, “emphasized the chairwoman of the bench, Ms. Tereza Cristina (DEM-MS).
According to the vice-president of the FPA, deputy Alceu Moreira (MDB / RS), the agricultural sector needs a multi-year plan for agricultural policy in Brazil. “Agriculture needs predictability and an integrated policy. Planning is not done without long-term security. We’re plugging holes. The agricultural sector, while carrying the country’s economy on its back, does not have adequate support from the government. The production of food and inputs is compromised, “argued Moreira.
