The city councils of Janaúba and Jaíba, in the North of Minas Gerais, declared an economic emergency in the agricultural sector due to the combination of drought, debt, low sales and difficulties in accessing credit. The decrees, with an initial validity of 180 days, aim to support producers through coordination with financial institutions, recovery of local roads and referral to state and federal programs. In Janaúba, a local slaughterhouse granted collective vacations to 743 employees between September and October, reflecting the impacts on the production chain. In Jaíba, the focus is on irrigated agriculture under the Jaíba Project, already affected by the drought previously declared in August. No decree automatically guarantees debt renegotiation or suspension of financial obligations.
