To participate in the program, the farm must be registered in the State Agrarian Register (DAR) and have from 5 to 500 hectares of land under cultivation in the respective regions.
You can apply for participation from April 21 to 30 or until the available amount of assistance is exhausted. Each approved participant will be able to receive up to 25 sowing units of corn seeds – at the rate of one unit per 1 ha. Seed production will begin in early May and will last approximately two weeks.
