      abstract = {This paper aims at updating Pronaf ’s performance in  Brazil, deepening the 
discussion about the beneficiary  public and financed activities. The main source used for  
the analysis is the Statistical Yearbook of Rural Credit  of Brazil’s Central Bank (1999-2012), supplemented with  information from the Family Farming Secretariat (SAF) of  the Agrarian Development Ministry (MDA), mainly for the  period from 1996 to 1998. The results show that 
Pronaf  maintains a concentration of resources and contracts on  more capitalized farmers, commodity producers 
(mainly  corn, soybeans and coffee) located in the South, Southeast  and Center-West in Brazil, reinforcing its strong  
productivity-based bias. However, on the other hand, when  analyzing spatialized data, we find the funding for a  
variety of crops in different regions. In regional terms,  the increase of the overall resources and contracts has  been 
higher in the Northeast and North. Despite this  expansion, these regions and public remain, in absolute  terms, the 
minority accessing Pronaf despite amounting for  most of Brazilian family farmers.},
