The Brazilian government has announced the launch dates for the 2025-26 Crop Plan. The Ministry of Agrarian Development will provide rural loans for family farming on June 30, and the Ministry of Agriculture will release the Corporate Agriculture Plan on July 1. The government will announce the plan within the current regulatory timeframe, as in 2024. Funding (over BRL 600 billion) will come from demand deposits, rural savings, and LCAs, with potential interest discounts for sustainable practices. Despite efforts to keep rates low, the Selic hike may increase costs. The previous plan allocated BRL 16.3 billion, with current priorities including small farmers’ role in the energy transition
