Ordinance No. 18 was published this Friday (03/276), by the Secretariat of Family Agriculture and Cooperatives of the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply (Mapa), which determines the payment of the Harvest Guarantee. This month, farmers from Alagoas, Pernambuco, Piauí and Rio Grande do Norte will receive the benefit. The amount will reach more than R$13 million.
As a result of measures to combat the Covid-19 pandemic, full payment of the Harvest Guarantee benefit will be made in a single installment of R$850, as published in Ordinance No. 15, of April 14, 2020.
The Garantia-Safra aims to guarantee food security for family farmers who live in regions systematically subject to crop loss, due to drought or floods. Farmers with a monthly income of up to one and a half minimum wages are entitled to receive the benefit, when they have production losses in their municipalities equal to or greater than 50%. The Harvest Guarantee benefit is made available in accordance with the social benefit payment schedule.
Farmers adhering to the Garantia-Safra who had the granting of the benefit blocked in the municipalities that had authorization for payment in the month of February/2022 must comply with the guidelines set out in Ordinance No. 25, of July 08, 2020, to regularize the benefit.
If the benefit is blocked, the farmer must access his profile in the Garantia-Safra Management System, clicking on this link, and check the reason for the block by checking the notification that appears in the profile. The farmer will have up to 30 days, after the publication of the Ordinance that authorizes the payment of the benefit, to express his opinion regarding the blockage, through the service “Request a Defense Request after Blocking the Garantia-Safra Benefit”, on the Gov.br platform
The list of farmers who had the benefit blocked, as a precautionary measure, will be forwarded by the State Coordinations to municipal managers. Other information about Garantia-Safra can be requested from the Mapa Secretariat of Family Agriculture and Cooperatives by email atguarantesafra.cgs@agro.gov.br or by telephone at (61) 3218-3319.
