The Seed Plan was an initiative that seeks to increase the productivity of the farmer, without representing the additional purchase of land for production, through the subsidy of high quality seeds and pesticides for the treatment of crops, this initiative combines with the objectives of the National Government on the redistribution of wealth and opportunities for low-income farmers. For the research, rice farmers were taken as a reference for the population, since in a greater proportion it was the sector that had the most representation in the present plan, for the analysis of results, bibliographic research was taken as a reference, they took publications, books and statistics of the National Government before and after the implementation of the Seed Plan, which resulted in greater yield of land, increase of crops to be sold and education of farmers to new cultivation techniques, which allowed them to be more productive, both in the investment of seeds and in the employment of workers for cultivation, among the highlights could be seen, the lack of technical education of farmers, since their cultivation methods are rustic and do not use specialized equipment to technified its activity, in addition to the presence of intermediaries in the absence of private banking for the f financing of crops. It is concluded that farmers require an entity to manage their businesses, so that they become entrepreneurs and investors, so they can manage their ventures.
