• 00:05:00 In this section of the YouTube video titled "Exclusivo | Ministro Carlos Fávaro speaks about debts in the agricultural sector, Plano Safra, and more | Canal Rural," Minister Carlos Fávaro discusses the approval of a proposal to renegotiate debts for certain agricultural producers in some regions of the country. He mentions that there are other ways to enter this process, including renegotiating investments in 2024. The minister also explains that the state of Tocantins did not participate in the soybean prorogation, but producers can request a prorogation of up to 88% of financed values in exceptional cases. He encourages those in need to make a request as soon as possible, as this will impact the new Plano Safra, which the government aims to be the largest in history. Additionally, new measures are being announced between April 10 and 12 to support producers who have been capitalized. The government is working to make this the biggest Plano Safra ever, but it depends on the Treasury and the budget. The Ministry of Agriculture and the Fazenda are also working on strategies to modernize agriculture and provide more resources for subsidies. The recognition and reward of producers with good practices is also being considered, and the Ministry of Agriculture aims to partner with the Fazenda to benefit these producers.
