Government Releases R$ 40 Billion in Credit and Authorizes Non-Bidding Purchases of Agriculture Products Affected by US Tariffs.

The Federal Government announced last Friday a series of measures to contain the effects of the 50% tariff imposed by the United States on Brazilian products.

The strategy combines emergency credit of R$ 40 billion and the authorization for the Union, states, and municipalities to purchase, without bidding, foods produced by companies that have lost market share abroad.

The Minister of Agriculture, Carlos Fávaro, stated that the decision aims to protect agriculture sectors that were directly affected by the American measure. “There are several products that can now be marketed with the federal government, states, and municipalities, minimizing the impacts of the tariff,” he said.

Products Authorized for Public Purchases

The government published an ordinance listing the foods that can be acquired by the public sector, without the need for a bidding process. Eight items have already been included:

acai;
coconut water;
cashew nut;
Brazil nut;
honey;
mango;
fish (such as croaker, snapper, and tilapia, in fresh, refrigerated, or frozen forms);
grapes.

According to the text, the list may be expanded in the future. The evaluation will be up to the ministries of Agrarian Development and Agriculture.

Requirements for Companies

To participate in the program, companies will have to prove that they were victims of the American tariffs. The criterion will be the completion of the so-called Export Loss Declaration.

With the approved document, producers are authorized to sell directly to the public sector within the Brazil Sovereign Plan, a rescue program created by the federal government.

R$ 40 Billion Credit

In addition to public purchases, the package provides for R$ 40 billion in credit for companies harmed by the US barrier. Of this total, R$ 30 billion will come from the Export Guarantee Fund (FGE) and R$ 10 billion from BNDES.

The president of BNDES, Aloizio Mercadante, stated that the priority will be for those who lost more than 5% of their revenue between July 2024 and June 2025.

According to Mercadante, the release of credits is expected to start in the second week of September.

Revenue Impact Criterion

Access to credit will be greater for those who suffered heavier losses. Companies that recorded a drop equal to or greater than 20% will have access to all available lines and guarantees.

The credit model is inspired by the emergency program used in 2023 to assist companies affected by floods in Rio Grande do Sul.

Condition: Maintain Jobs

One of the requirements for accessing credit is preserving jobs. Benefited companies will have to prove that they are maintaining employees.

Dismissals will be allowed but must be compensated with new hires.

The government states that the measure is essential to prevent the tariff from causing an increase in unemployment in strategic sectors.

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Four times faster than the Concorde, capable of taking passengers from New York to London in less than an hour at Mach 5.5, and with an engine that switches from turbojet to ramjet mid-flight at Mach 3.5, the Hermeus Quarterhorse went from paper to its first flight in just 19 months.

Under nearly 2 kilometers of ice in Antarctica, scientists have discovered an ancient landscape sculpted by rivers up to 60 million years ago, the size of Wales, preserved as a time capsule that could help predict the advance of ice towards the ocean.

She started by collecting oyster shells from restaurants and today she has already accumulated more than 10 tons to restore reefs, recover coastal habitats, and demonstrate how a common waste can become a tool for ocean conservation.

SpaceX will dock a $843 million vehicle to the International Space Station to push a nearly 420-ton laboratory against the atmosphere and make the debris fall in a controlled manner into the ocean.

Scientists find in pigeons’ livers a possible “biological compass” capable of explaining how birds follow invisible routes through the Earth’s magnetic field.

How remains of a 17th-century ship found in Finland turned into dresses: wood from the Hahtiperä shipwreck, buried for over 300 years, was transformed into textile fiber by Ioncell technology.

World Cup paintings can result in fines and even legal action in some cities, but many people still ignore this rule before the tournament.

Fishermen find a rare 127 kg substance inside a whale in Yemen, sell the “whale vomit” for $1.5 million, and become millionaires with the find in the Gulf of Aden.

For the economist José Kobori, the USA gained a trump card to “blackmail” Brazil and undermine China’s influence by classifying the PCC and Comando Vermelho as terrorists, increasing the power to pressure companies, banks, and even Pix.

The labor shortage has changed its face in Brazil: companies hire 80% more, but workers stay only 6.8 months in the job, the service market becomes a “revolving door,” and businesses spend increasingly more to train teams that soon leave.

Chinese giant chooses SC to set up its first factory in Brazil, investing R$ 250 million and producing MRI machines costing R$ 10 million each, with 100 direct jobs and 5% of revenue allocated to research.

After selling a unit for R$ 115 million to pay off debts, a traditional factory in SC founded in 1932 has a new R$ 64.8 million plan denied by the court and retains about 690 workers in Joinville.
