Judicial reorganization for rural producers: requirements, debts and risks
Understand registration, two-year proof, affected claims, CPR, collateral and operational risk.
Direct answer: A rural producer operating as a business for more than two years may seek judicial reorganization if registered with the Commercial Registry when filing, even if registration is newer, under STJ Theme 1,145. Evidence of continuous activity and classification of each claim are decisive.

Practical framework
| Workstream | Question |
|---|---|
| Eligibility | is more than two years of activity proven? |
| Claims | what is origin and date? |
| CPR/security | physical delivery, fiduciary title or exception? |
| Operations | is there cash to plant during the case? |
Reorganization does not erase debts and is not a first negotiation tool. Gather books, invoices, returns/LCDPR, bank records, contracts, assets, employees, crops and creditors. Separate personal and business debt and review non-subject claims, fiduciary security and each CPR. The filing affects reputation, supply, financing and governance; an unviable plan only postpones failure.
Risk and professional review
Do not sign, renew or acknowledge debt with blanks. Accounting must reconcile the agreement, documents, inventory, cash and tax; legal counsel should review authority, security, maturity, default and dispute resolution.
Frequently asked questions
Do two years run from registration?
Theme 1,145 permits earlier activity proof but requires registration at filing.
Does every debt enter?
No. Origin, date, security and statutory exclusions matter.
Does every CPR enter?
No; form, settlement and security require individual review.
Can production continue?
That is the goal, but requires liquidity, suppliers and management.
Can an individual producer file?
Yes, if statutory and precedential requirements are met.
