The Government of São Paulo has launched a new program, Irriga+SP, to promote irrigation in agriculture, providing R$200 million in credit and subsidies to small and medium-sized rural producers. The initiative aims to expand irrigation from the current 6% to 15% of the cultivated area by 2030, addressing water scarcity and promoting sustainable agriculture. The subsidies will be primarily used for irrigation systems, rural infrastructure, and photovoltaic energy, with a repayment term of up to five years and a grace period of up to 18 months. The program is expected to benefit key agricultural sectors such as sugarcane, citrus, and grains.
