Published list of family farming products with bonuses in July

The Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply (Mapa) released this Thursday (8) the list of agricultural products with discount bonuses in July for financial agents operating the National Program for Strengthening Family Farming (Pronaf).

The list of products and states covered by the Price Guarantee Program for Family Farming (PGPAF) is valid for the period from July 10th to August 9th of this year, according to the Ordinance No. 29, from the Secretariat of Agricultural Policy. 

The products with discount bonuses in operations and rural credit installments are: açaí (fruit), banana, cultivated natural rubber, yam/yam, cultivated cocoa, cashew nuts, cowpea, mango and passion fruit. The states on this month's list are: Acre, Amazonas, Alagoas, Bahia, Ceará, Espírito Santo, Goiás, Maranhão, Mato Grosso, Paraíba, Pernambuco, Piauí, Sergipe and Santa Catarina.

Receiving a bonus from the PGPAF occurs when the market value of any of the program's products falls below the reference price, allowing the producer to use the value as a discount on payment or amortization in the financing installments in the National Program for Strengthening Family Farming ( Pronaf). 

Discounts for all crops are calculated monthly by the National Supply Company (Conab) and published by Mapa.
