Abstract

This Law, consisting of 16 articles, creates the Cotton Incentive Programme of Mato Grosso (PROALMAT) under the Ministry of Agriculture and Land Affairs of the State of Mato Grosso (SAAF/MT). It aims at the recovery and expansion of cotton crop in the State, improving technological and environmental quality standards of productivity, as well as stimulating public and private investments, in order to promote the process of agricultural industrialization. The Programme defines minimum conditions for cotton fiber quality, conservation and phytosanitary practices, which the producer must observe in order to apply for the benefits provided for in this Law. The requirements must prove, through legal documentation, the use of cotton seeds, in a quantity compatible with the planted area, of recommended varieties, produced and purchased from seed producers duly registered with the Ministry of Agriculture and Supply.
