Investment Fund and Tax Incentives in Paraná
The FIDC Paraná II, Investment Fund in Agribusiness Credit Rights, will be structured with a capital of R$ 300 million.
Of this amount, R$ 60 million will be contributed by Fomento Paraná and R$ 240 million by Seara.
The structure is similar to that of other agribusiness funds already operating in the state.
Simultaneously, Seara expects to invest R$ 175 million in Cerro Azul, as part of the state program Rota do Progresso, to install a complex focused on parent stock farms.
According to the company, the center is expected to meet the entire demand for breeders used in chicken production in Paraná.
In return, the state government released R$ 175 million related to accumulated ICMS credits by the company.
The total amount of ICMS credits enabled in the two projects adds up to R$ 415 million, as reported by the company.
Application of FIDC Resources and Works for New Farms
Of the R$ 300 million planned for the FIDC, R$ 240 million will be applied to the construction of new broiler and breeder farms by producers integrated with the company.
According to Seara, the funds are intended to expand and modernize the infrastructure contracted with the integrators.
The remaining R$ 60 million will finance part of the construction of a parent stock farm by Seara itself.
The company states that the initiative aims to ensure a regular supply of the genetic base necessary for the production cycle.
The fund will be managed by Suno Gestora de Recursos.
The FIDC will have a term of ten years, an initial grace period of 24 months, and rates close to those practiced by the Safra Plan, according to information from Fomento Paraná.
Technicians linked to the operation explain that the structure was designed to align payment terms with the investment cycle necessary for the construction and operation of farms.
Parent Stock Complex in Cerro Azul and Regional Impact
In Cerro Azul, the investment of R$ 175 million will be applied to the installation of the parent stock farm complex.
State government information indicates that the project is part of the policy of the Rota do Progresso program, which seeks to direct large investments to municipalities with lower economic indicators.
According to the government, the program foresees up to R$ 2.5 billion in investments in approximately 80 municipalities.
In the case of Cerro Azul, state authorities say that the installation of the unit may generate jobs and boost local service and transportation sectors.
The estimates depend on the implementation schedule and hiring throughout the operation.
The release of R$ 175 million in ICMS credits to the project follows the standard adopted by the program.
Integration Model and Prospects for Producers
The announcement is part of the productive integration model used by Seara with rural producers in the state.
In this format, the company provides inputs, technical guidance, and health monitoring, while the integrators provide facilities and labor.
Experts consulted by sector entities state that this model tends to offer contractual predictability, although its results vary according to production costs, market conditions, and animal health.
In a statement, JBS Global CEO Gilberto Tomazoni stated that the investments reinforce the integration system and help encourage producers to invest in their structures.
He also noted that the initiative should enhance economic opportunities in the areas served by the company.
Fomento Paraná and Suno inform that the fund starts operations with identified demand among integrated producers.
Representatives of the institutions point out that the extended term, grace period, and financial conditions were structured to meet the investment profile for farm works and adjustments.
With the announcement of contributions and the release of R$ 415 million in tax credits, experts assess that it remains to be seen how these investments may influence the distribution of poultry production and the income of integrated producers in rural Paraná.
