Rural Product Note (CPR) | B3

Rural Product Note (CPR)

  • Created by Law No. 8,929 of 1994, CPR is a bond characterized by the promise of future delivery of agricultural products. It may be issued by farmers or their associations, including cooperatives.

    Currently, CPR is the key instrument used for financing the agribusiness supply chain, as it allows issuers to raise funds for the development of their rural products or enterprises.

    CPR is a foreign exchange bond tradable on the organized OTC market and can be issued in two ways:

    Physical CPR:
    Its settlement takes place through delivery of the product by the issuer in the quantity and quality described on the bond.

    Financial CPR:
    The Financial CPR modality was created by Law No. 10,200 of 2001 and, unlike the physical CPR, its payment is carried out through cash settlement of the amount shown on the bond at maturity.
