Paran\u00e1's pioneering initiative to create a \u201cState Harvest Plan\u201d to boost agribusiness will serve as a model for the rest of Brazil. The State Finance Department (Sefa) and Fomento Paran\u00e1 presented online on Tuesday (06) the bases of the Investment Fund in Agroindustrial Production Chains (Paran\u00e1 FIDC) to representatives of the National Committee of Secretaries of Finance, Finance, Revenue or Taxation of the States and the Federal District (Comsefaz) so that the structure can be replicated in the rest of the country.<\/p>\n

Announced in December, the Paran\u00e1 FIDC will offer an alternative to the financing conditions of the Safra Plan and other resources earmarked for rural and agro-industrial credit. The idea is to promote strategic investments to further boost agribusiness in Paran\u00e1. To this end, the state will invest R$1.5T 350 million to finance these initiatives and expects to generate R$1.5T 2 billion in business in the field.<\/p>\n
One of the points highlighted in the presentation made to Comsefaz was precisely the difference between the Paran\u00e1 initiative and what the Safra Plan already offers. While the federal program concentrates most of the resources on the cost and marketing of production, the focus of Paran\u00e1 FIDC will be on offering credit for improvements and expansion of agricultural activities.<\/p>\n
The fund should also contribute to promoting economic growth, food security, environmental preservation and strengthening rural communities, and can be used for irrigation systems, production expansion, storage, equipment and other lines.<\/p>\n
As explained by the Secretary of Finance, Norberto Ortigara, one of the objectives of the fund is precisely to promote the industrialization and modernization of the countryside. \u201cWe want to encourage the processing and adding value to everything that comes from the fields. To do this, it is important to encourage local investments and attract investors from abroad to set up plants here, establish new integrations, and strengthen new cooperatives,\u201d he said, adding: \u201cThus, credit will be offered to finance this agro-industrial expansion, the modernization of plants, and the installation of new industries that produce food in Paran\u00e1.\u201d<\/p>\n
Another unique feature of Paran\u00e1 FIDC is that companies that invest resources in the fund will be able to count on<\/p>\n

refund of ICMS (Tax on the Circulation of Goods and Services) credits approved via Siscred in 24 installments. With this, the expectation is to attract more companies that want to invest in the agroindustry of Paran\u00e1. \u201cThis is an important step forward and the whole of Brazil is watching this \u2013 which is good. There are many interested people wanting to know how we invented this new way of financing agroindustrial activity and we are here to export these good ideas. We want to take the Paran\u00e1 way of doing things to the rest of Brazil\u201d, highlights the secretary.<\/p>\n
Market enthusiasm<\/strong><\/p>\n During the presentation to the representatives of Comsefaz, the CEO of Fomento Paran\u00e1, Claudio Stabile, reinforced the enthusiasm with which the market awaits the launch of Paran\u00e1 FIDC, which demonstrates how successful the initiative is already. \u201cThe market is thirsty for this type of product,\u201d he pointed out.<\/p>\n According to him, all this interest in the investment fund is something that allows Paran\u00e1 to prospect growth not only in agro-industrial production, but also in the economy and in the quality of life of the people of Paran\u00e1. \u201cIt is important to highlight that all the investment remains in the state. So it boosts revenue, employment, and taxes. It is an environment that strengthens agriculture, but the entire chain benefits so that the Treasury Department, for example, can inject resources into other areas,\u201d added Stabile. \u201cThe entire state benefits from this.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\nTHE Bela Cereais<\/strong> works with the best grains on the market and also keeps you up to date with the latest news and analyses on agribusiness.
