Brazilian family farming and rural development initiatives

Overview

In Brazil, regional and national efforts to support family farming have focused on tax incentives, public procurement, and sustainable development.

In Paraíba, the government expanded ICMS tax exemptions for food products supplied by family farmers and rural entrepreneurs for school meal programs. Under Decree No. 48.605, this measure supports the Food Acquisition Program (PAA) and the National School Feeding Program (PNAE). Nationally, the Brazilian Chamber of Deputies marked the 20th anniversary of the Family Farming Law, which provides guidelines for public credit and food procurement for sectors including coffee, dairy, and staple crops.

Regional leadership in Piauí has committed to expanding policies for water supply, cooperatives, and the distribution of seeds and equipment. In Maranhão, the ‘Mãos que Semeiam’ project continues to emphasize sustainable production and training for rural youth.

New municipal and state initiatives have emerged to address climate and economic stability. In Santa Cruz do Capibaribe, registrations opened for the Garantia Safra 2026/2027 program to provide financial assistance against climate-related production losses. In Campo Grande, a public call for the PAA allows farmers to supply fruits and vegetables for donation to those facing nutritional insecurity. Additionally, in Mato Grosso, the State Secretariat of Family Agriculture (SEAF-MT) launched the MT Produtivo project, offering up to R$ 3 million for business plans to modernize value chains and improve climate resilience, supported by a US$ 100 million World Bank investment program.

Local procurement through the PNAE is also expanding. In Jaru, the municipal government contracted 18 rural producers to supply items such as pumpkin, zucchini, and banana to the school network, with an expected investment of approximately R$ 223,000. In Itaituba, farmers underwent quality inspections by a commission to ensure products meet the criteria for the municipal school supply chain.
