Less red tape in the countryside
license, permit and property title without the wait
Proposes simplifying irrigation permits, speeding up the titling of small rural landowners and integrating rural registries and authorizations into a single traceability system.
What the program says
In the countryside, bureaucracy carries a direct cost for food production. An irrigation permit currently takes, on average, 24 months to be granted: that is two years in which the land produces less than it could. And the small producer who does not hold the title to their land cannot get credit, cannot invest and has no assurance that what they work is theirs. We will simplify irrigation permits and speed up land tenure regularization and the titling of small rural landowners, resuming the pace of titling that the Bolsonaro government had already accelerated, as detailed in Brazil that Grows. Those who work the land will have the paper that proves it is theirs. We will establish full traceability of production chains, integrating into a single system the land and environmental registries, the animal transit permits, the vegetation clearing authorizations and satellite monitoring. This same system identifies the small producer not to watch over them, but to recognize them: those who are invisible to the public authorities today become visible, and those who are seen can be served, with access to credit, to support programs and to the assurance that their production has a proven origin. With this, we definitively separate the producer who complies with the law from the one who breaks it — and those who produce correctly no longer pay, in distrust and in paperwork, for what the offender does. Instead of providing the same information to several agencies, the producer provides it only once. [p. 27, 28]
In plain language
- The text states that an irrigation permit currently takes, on average, 24 months to be granted, and proposes simplifying these permits.
- It proposes speeding up land tenure regularization and the titling of small rural landowners. According to the text, without a title the producer cannot get credit or invest.
- It provides for full traceability of production chains, bringing together in a single system the land and environmental registries, animal transit permits, vegetation clearing authorizations and satellite monitoring.
- According to the text, this system would identify small producers to give them access to credit, to support programs and to proof of origin for their production, and would separate those who comply with the law from those who break it.
- Producers would provide each piece of information only once, instead of repeating it to several agencies.
What is not in the program
- It does not state how long irrigation permits would take to be granted.
- It presents no titling targets, in number of titles or in timeline.
- It does not define who qualifies as a small producer or small rural landowner.
- It does not say which agency would run the integrated system or who would have access to the data.
- It names no legal instrument, cost or funding source.
