President Lula signed, this Tuesday (30), a provisional measure (MP) that allocates approximately R$ 270 million in subsidies for sugarcane producers in the Northeast who have had their incomes affected by market issues, mainly due to the US tariff hike. According to the text, the measure will guarantee a subsidy of R$ 12 per ton of sugarcane produced exclusively for the sugarcane grower who supplied the raw material to mills, distilleries or cooperatives of the kind. The government expects to assist around 16,000 independent producers in the region, who will be able to reinvest this amount in the field. The signing of the MP took place during the launch event of the 2026/27 Family Farming Harvest Plan.
