Issuance of Rural Product Notes in the current harvest grew 68% until February

The Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock (Mapa) published the Private Finance Bulletin for Agribusiness, with data from February 2025, where it is possible to consult the performance of the main bonds and Investment Funds in Agroindustrial Production Chains (Fiagros) that finance Brazilian agribusiness.

The accumulated records of issuance of Rural Product Certificates (CPR) in the current 2024/2025 harvest, from July to February, already total R$$ 268.84 billion, a value 68% higher than that verified in the same period of the last harvest, this being the highlight of this edition.

Along with the Agribusiness Credit Letters (LCA), the two securities, CPR and LCA, continue to be the main sources of private resources for financing the agricultural sector in February, as revealed by their accumulated stock values: R$540.14 billion of LCA and R$483.63 billion of CPR. However, unlike the CPR, the growth of the LCA stock in the period in question, compared to the previous year, was less accelerated, around 13%.

It is important to highlight the role of LCA not only in private finance, but also in Rural Credit. According to the rules of the National Monetary Council, it is the duty of financial institutions to keep the amount corresponding to 50% of the resources raised with LCA invested in rural financing operations, with at least 50% of this portion being directed to rural credit and the remainder to the acquisition of agricultural securities. In this sense, considering the current stock of R$$ 540.14 billion in LCA, at least R$$ 270.07 billion of the new funds raised are being reinvested in the sector.

Agribusiness Credit Rights Certificates (CDCA) and Agribusiness Receivables Certificates (CRA) have also been showing less intense but still positive growth. In February, CDCA stocks increased by 10% compared to the same period last year, reaching R$$ 35.13 billion. CRA stocks increased by 14% compared to the same period, reaching R$$ 134.31 billion.

The movement in the Agribusiness Production Chain Investment Funds (FIAGRO) market has also shown good indicators. In January, the Net Equity of these funds reached R$43.99 billion, with 137 of them in operation.

The Agribusiness Private Finance Bulletin is developed by the General Coordination of Market and Financing Instruments, of the Department of Financing Policy for the Agricultural Sector, of the Secretariat of Agricultural Policy, of the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock.
