The State of Paraná must claim 14% of the R $ 194.37 billion that will be offered by the federal government within the Agricultural and Livestock Plan 2018/2019.
For the Secretary of Agriculture of Paraná, George Hiraiwa, the changes in the plan will help boost the planting and motivate the producers. “Interest rates in smaller percentages will certainly trigger a resumption of slower-going investments, with the Selic moving downward and the rates of rural credit very high,” he said.
Another highlight is the sale of commodity production, such as corn and soybeans, with international prices supported by the Chicago Stock Exchange and the favorable exchange rate for exports. These two variables are strong factors and support to the Brazilian agribusiness, and should boost the activity.
Among the new credit lines offered by the plan, the secretariat highlights the line for working capital for dairy cooperatives, considering that Paraná ranks second in Brazil among the main dairy producers, behind only Minas Gerais . The new line of up to R $ 50 million per cooperative / year is in line with the process of improvement and technological consolidation for the activity.
