Government sets minimum prices for the 25/26 summer harvest

The Ministry of Agriculture (Mapa) published, this Wednesday (9), Ordinance No. 812, which updates the minimum prices of summer and regional products for the 2025/26 and 2026 harvests. The values, set by the National Monetary Council (CMN), serve as a reference for the operations of the Minimum Price Guarantee Policy (PGPM).

Among the products with new prices are seed and lint cotton, long grain rice, cultivated natural rubber, cultivated cocoa (kernels), beans (colored and black), milk, cassava, corn, flour, among others. The measure has national scope and the prices will be valid from July 2025 to May 2027, depending on the crop's cycle.

The purpose of setting minimum prices is to ensure a minimum remuneration for rural producers and contribute to income stability in rural areas. The proposed prices are prepared by the National Supply Company (CONAB), taking into account factors such as production costs and the behavior of domestic and foreign markets.

According to Decree-Law No. 79/1966, minimum prices must be defined before the start of planting to guide producers' decisions and signal the Federal Government's commitment to supporting marketing in the event of a drop in market prices.
