The Brazilian Supreme Court unanimously ruled that the restrictions established in Law No. 5,709\/71 regarding the acquisition and use of rural properties by Brazilian companies under foreign control are constitutional. The Court also reaffirmed that the Union has the authority to authorize this type of transaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The decision reinforces the understanding that Brazilian companies with majority foreign capital remain subject to the same legal regime applicable to foreign companies, especially from the perspective of national sovereignty and territorial security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Immediate impacts for agribusiness<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The decision is likely to have a direct impact on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Structured transactions for the acquisition of rural properties involving foreign capital;
\u2022 Foreign investment in territorial expansion in agriculture;
\u2022 Real estate and corporate due diligence processes;
\u2022 Corporate structures used for the acquisition or leasing of rural land;
\u2022 Registration analysis and approval of transactions before notaries and competent authorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Brazilian companies controlled by foreign investors must continue to observe the legal limits established in Law No. 5,709\/71, including the need for specific authorizations in certain cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
