With New Deliveries of Rural Titles, the Government of Minas Strengthens Land Regularization in Minas Gerais, Expanding Opportunities for Credit, Employment, and Appreciation of Families in Alto Rio Pardo
Land regularization in Minas Gerais took an important new step with the delivery of more than 2,000 rural property titles to producers in Alto Rio Pardo, according to a report published.
The action, carried out by the State Government through the Secretariat of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply (Seapa-MG), marked the end of a 14-year wait for hundreds of families.
The main event took place on October 14 in Rio Pardo de Minas, with the presence of the acting governor Mateus Simões and Secretary Thales Fernandes.

The program returns legal tranquility to farmers and opens pathways for access to credit, retirement, and public policies.
For small producers, it represents more than just a document: it is the guarantee of belonging, stability, and prosperity in the countryside.
Family Farming in Minas Gerais Gains New Momentum with Title Deliveries
The delivery of the documents is part of the Rural Land Regularization Program, considered the largest in the region’s history. In Rio Pardo de Minas alone, 1,210 titles were delivered.
Other benefiting municipalities include São João do Paraíso, Vargem Grande, Indaiabira, Santo Antônio do Retiro, Mato Verde, Rubelita, Montezuma, and Padre Carvalho, totaling 2,142 regularized properties.
These titles from land regularization in Minas Gerais guarantee producers the legal security needed to develop their activities and invest in improvements.
With the document in hand, farmers can access rural credit programs, sell to the National School Feeding Program (Pnae) and the Food Acquisition Program (PAA), as well as have the right to pass the property to their children.
For Mateus Simões, the action represents “the certainty that the property will go to the heirs and that the countryside will remain productive and strong.”
Rural Credit for Small Producers Expands Legal Security in the Countryside
The advancement of land regularization in Minas Gerais resolves a deadlock that had persisted since 2011 when public civil actions interrupted the process in Alto Rio Pardo.
The lands, largely occupied for generations, were under investigation due to Operation Grilo, led by the Public Ministry of Minas Gerais and the Federal Police.
The resumption occurred after a Preliminary Agreement Term signed in 2021 between the Government of Minas and the MPMG, followed by another agreement in 2022 with the State Court of Justice.
This understanding allowed the resumption of title deliveries and guaranteed producers the right to legally exist in the countryside. Since then, more than 12,884 documents have already been distributed, and the goal is to reach 16,000 by 2026.
Regularization also brings direct economic impacts. According to Thales Fernandes, Secretary of Agriculture, “producers gain dignity and access to financing policies and infrastructure, boosting the local economy.”
This legal security reinforces income generation in rural areas and strengthens the agribusiness sector in Minas Gerais.
Sustainable Development in Northern Minas Strengthens Communities and Local Economy
The impact of land regularization in Minas Gerais goes beyond economic benefits. In Rio Pardo de Minas, farmer Dionísio Cândido de Souza, 52, celebrated the document that officializes his possession of 92 hectares.
After three decades of work with his family, he now plans to expand cassava production and invest in the tapioca industry. His children, who study veterinary medicine and agronomy, intend to continue the business with more security.
The acting governor highlighted that the measure generates employment, expands credit, and restores the dignity of families.
The action also stimulates sustainable development in Northern Minas by encouraging people to stay in the countryside and use land responsibly.
In addition to the delivery of titles, Mateus Simões inaugurated the Municipal Brigade of the Fire Department in Rio Pardo de Minas, strengthening public safety infrastructure and support for Civil Defense.
The new team, made up of trained civilian professionals, will work in fire prevention and suppression and emergency responses, enhancing the region’s safety and strengthening the policy of decentralization of the Fire Department.
Land regularization in Minas Gerais thus represents not only the formalization of properties but also the recognition of decades of work by producers who sustain the backbone of Minas’ agriculture and drive the state’s economy.
