The Paraná State Treasury Department confirmed last Thursday (22) the allocation of R$1 billion in accumulated ICMS credits for companies and agricultural cooperatives that invest in the Investment Fund in Agroindustrial Production Chains (Paraná FIDC).

The credits, released via the System for Controlling the Transfer and Use of Accumulated Credits (Siscred), and available from January 2026, are part of a pioneering program by the State, as highlighted by the Secretary of Finance, Norberto Ortigara. “In practice, this means injecting money into the veins to finance the installation of poultry farms and pigpens, to expand milk production and to build an agro-industrial processing industry,” he said.
THE Decree No. 9,951/2025establishes the guidelines for the transfer of these credits, which were approved by the Treasury Department. The release of the accumulated amount may begin after the acquisition of the FIDC share is completed – that is, when the resources are invested in the investment fund – and will be made in 24 monthly installments.

With this facility, beneficiaries will be able to deduct up to 100% from their own ICMS debit balance in the assessment period. However, it is important to note that the credits cannot be used to settle the ICMS related to the tax substitution.
Innovative financing
The FIDC Agro Paraná operates as a comprehensive mechanism, allowing cooperatives and integrating companies in the state to create linked funds and offer facilitated financing conditions to their members and integrated companies. The resources can be applied to the purchase of machinery, equipment, irrigation systems and logistics, strengthening the entire production chain.
Ortigara highlighted the innovative nature of the initiative. “FIDCs are a new way of financing the necessary expansion of our agricultural production and agro-industrial processing. And now the possibility of transferring ICMS credits comes to complement and expand this financing effort. It is a smart measure invented here in Paraná that is being copied throughout Brazil. It is a source of pride for all of us.”
Launched in April on the B3 by Governor Carlos Massa Ratinho Junior, Paraná FIDC emerges as an alternative to the financing conditions of the Safra Plan and other resources earmarked for rural and agro-industrial credit. With an initial contribution from the State of R$350 million, the expectation is to generate R$2 billion in business in the field, boosting strategic investments.
