The Federation of Agriculture and Livestock of Mato Grosso (Famato) participated, this Wednesday (September 17th), in Bras\u00edlia, in the public hearing promoted by the Committee on Foreign Relations and National Defense (CRE) of the Federal Senate, which discussed Bill No. 4497, of 2024. The proposal amends legal provisions to establish procedures for ratifying real estate registrations resulting from alienations and concessions of public lands located in the border area, in addition to modifying points of the Public Registry Law.<\/p>\n
\nRepresenting the organization, Famato's legal advisor, Rodrigo Bressane, joined the panel discussion alongside Patr\u00edcia Arantes de Paiva Medeiros, executive director of the Brazilian Rural Society (SRB). During the hearing, a technical analysis prepared by Famato's land analyst, Dione Castro, was presented, providing a detailed overview of the land tenure situation in Mato Grosso.<\/p>\n
\nThe data reveals the scale of the challenge faced by rural producers in the state's border region. The total area of the border strip in Mato Grosso is 11.2 million hectares, of which 9.4 million are on private properties. Currently, there are 21,544 properties with active Rural Environmental Registry (CAR) in the Mato Grosso Rural Environmental Registry System (SIMCAR), of which 1,541 properties have an area greater than 15 fiscal modules, subject to stricter certification rules with Incra and the Land Management System (Sigef).<\/p>\n
\nThe study points to significant obstacles that have hindered the regularization process, such as low adherence to ratification in real estate registry services, bureaucracy and delays in document collection, as well as variations in the fees charged by technical professionals, lawyers, and notaries. Another barrier is the requirement for authorization from the National Congress for properties larger than 2,500 hectares located in border areas, which further lengthens the procedures.<\/p>\n
\nIn presenting the situations observed in Mato Grosso, Famato reinforced the concern of producers who depend on legal certainty to continue investing in productive activities. Among the points of Bill 4497\/2024 highlighted by the entity are the mandatory communication between registry offices and Incra, the requirement for negative certificates and the Rural Property Registration Certificate (CCIR), in addition to the provision that georeferencing for subdivision or consolidation will only be mandatory from December 31, 2028.<\/p>\n
\nRodrigo Bressane highlighted the importance of Famato's presence at the hearing to bring the reality of producers to the debate. \u201cParticipating in this hearing is fundamental to giving voice to rural producers in Mato Grosso who live in the border region and face historical difficulties in guaranteeing the legal security of their properties. Famato represents more than 33,000 producers who need clear rules, less bureaucracy, and more efficiency in the process of ratifying property registrations,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n
\nBy contributing technically and legally to the legislative debate, Famato reaffirms its commitment to defending the interests of the productive sector and seeking solutions to reduce land insecurity in the border region, a strategic issue for the sustainable development of the state and the country.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
