The Minister of Agriculture and Livestock (Mapa), André de Paula, said this Tuesday (2), in the capital of São Paulo, that the ministry is working to ensure that the 2026/27 Harvest Plan offers a volume of resources of approximately R$ 550 billion, about 10% above what was made available in the last season. The minister participated in a meeting of the Agribusiness Council of the Commercial Association of São Paulo (ACSP), led by Cesario Ramalho, former president of the Brazilian Rural Society. According to André de Paula, the ministry is working with the government's economic team to make single-digit interest rates viable for the Harvest Plan, as well as an amount that ensures conditions for equalizing these rates, and resources for rural insurance. The minister also stated that the government is working towards the date of July 1st for the launch of the Harvest Plan.
