The bank also emphasized that it remains one of the important supporters of the agricultural sector and that these resources reach rural producers and cooperatives, primarily facilitated by partner financial agents.
“In the 2022/23 Harvest Plan, 16 billion reais have already been approved through partner institutions, including development agencies, car manufacturers’ banks, credit cooperatives, cooperative banks, private banks, and public banks,” he reiterated, mentioning that about 70,000 rural producers and cooperatives have been served since July 1, 2022, when the plan came into effect.
Even during the entire suspension of the operation protocols in the PAGF, which occurred in the current Harvest Plan, BNDES recalled that it continued to make some credits available to its producers through other proprietary solutions, such as the BNDES Rural Credit Product.
“Since the beginning of the current harvest year, in June 2022, until mid-January of the current year, approximately 2.8 billion reais have been approved under the product.”
In mid-August of last year, then Agriculture Minister Marcos Montes said he still expected “soon” the resumption of credit lines that were still suspended by the BNDES.
