OS ASPECTOS JURÍDICOS DO CRÉDITO RURAL COMO POLÍTICA PÚBLICA DE DESENVOLVIMENTO ECONÔMICO DO BRASIL

Abstract

This research deals with the legal provisions of Rural Credit Titles in the Brazilian legal system. Credit and fiscal stimulus in agriculture is solidified in the 1988 Federal Constitution, regulated in several other normative instruments discussed in this scientific article. Bearing in mind the extreme economic relevance of agribusiness in Brazil, which is responsible for supporting families, maintaining jobs and providing the country's food supply, the current legislation is clear in stating that the incentive for the development of agribusiness goes beyond the barrier of the private sphere and must be exercised by public authorities, through rural credit titles, which are set out in Decree-Law nº 167/1967 and were analyzed in the present work. In addition to Decree-Law No. 167/1967, other specific norms of the Rural Credit system in Brazil were used, using the deductive method for bibliographic and documentary analysis, concluding that the current Brazilian legal system, as well as jurisprudential guidance, are in line with for the understanding that rural credit, more than merely financing, is an essential instrument for the Brazilian economy and deserves special care by the enforcer of law and financial institutions.
