Publications - 7 Peculiarities of Rural Credit in the Cerrado: Private Resources Attracted to Finance Large Producers Contrast with Scarcity of Credit for Family Farming

In this brief, researchers from Climate Policy Initiative/Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro (CPI/PUC-Rio) analyze the key features of rural credit in the Cerrado biome and highlight the specificities of the region’s agricultural activities. This work complements the previous analysis of rural credit in the Amazon conducted by CPI/PUC-Rio and seeks to provide a deeper understanding of rural financing in the Brazilian biomes. This analysis aims to help improve the credit policy and adapt this instrument to the specific challenges and context of the Cerrado.
