Family farmers who have partial financing under the National Program for Strengthening Family Farming (Pronaf) will have rebate bonuses of up to 67.9% in the case of cowpea in Mato Grosso, 56.6% in common garlic in Rio Grande do Sul, and 42.8% for potatoes from Santa Catarina. The percentage for the subsidy is defined according to the Price Guarantee Program for Family Agriculture (PGPAF), implemented by the National Supply Company (Conab). The figures were released on Thursday (07) in the Federal Official Gazette, and will serve as a basis for discount on payments valid in June.
The discount is granted by the federal government when the market value of the products contemplated in the PGPAF is below the guarantee price. In this edition, 13 other products also had bonuses, such as açaí, rice, babassu, sugarcane, yam, cacao, milk, cassava, passion fruit, honey, wheat and natural rubber. Discounts are valid from June 10 until July 9 this year.
Pronaf is a financing made available for the implantation, expansion or modernization of the structure of production, processing, industrialization and services in the rural establishment or in nearby rural community areas, aiming to generate income and to improve the use of family labor.
