Briefings
Brazilian agricultural associations strongly criticized Banco do Brasil for attributing a 66.5% drop in net profit to farmer non-payment, despite evidence showing 90% of agro clients are current. The Banco Central's 2015-2019 data cited 1.89% average non-payment, contradicting the bank's claim. Key figures include Tarciana Medeiros (BB president) and Tirso Meirelles (Faesp president), with data spanning 2026 Q3. Associations argue economic conditions, not bad debt, caused losses.
Key points
- Banco do Brasil attributed a 66.5% drop in net profit to farmer non-payment, while Banco Central data shows 1.89% average non-payment between 2015-2019.
- Aprosoja Brasil and Faesp leaders reject the bank's accusation, citing economic factors like climate shocks and high production costs as causes for the loss.
Context
Brazilian agricultural associations (Aprosoja Brasil, Faesp, Farsul, Famato) criticized Banco do Brasil for blaming farmers for a 66.5% profit drop in Q3 2026, despite evidence showing 90% of agro clients are current. The controversy centers on whether non-payment is intentional or due to economic conditions, with Banco Central data showing 1.89% average non-payment between 2015-2019.
Limitations
Evidence is limited to statements from 2026 Q3 and Banco Central historical data; no direct quotes from bank executives or specific non-payment amounts for individual farmers are provided.
