Abstract:
The research focuses on the analysis of relevant legislation, legal doctrines and
jurisprudence that deal with rural credit and administrative procedures related to the
topic. One of the main points covered is the interpretation of the rules that govern rural
credit, seeking to understand whether there is a legal obligation for rural producers to
exhaust administrative channels before resorting to the judiciary. Furthermore, the
study examines the arguments for and against the requirement of an administrative
request. On the one hand, it is argued that such a requirement could avoid overloading
the judiciary and promote a faster and more efficient solution to conflicts. On the other
hand, there are those who argue that waiving the prior request is essential to guarantee
access to justice, especially in cases where the urgency of the situation does not allow
waiting for administrative procedures. The article also discusses current jurisprudence
on the topic, highlighting judicial decisions that have influenced legal practice in Brazil.
In particular, cases are analyzed in which the judiciary has waived the administrative
request in specific situations, recognizing the urgency and need for immediate
intervention to protect the rights of rural producers. It is concluded that, although the
administrative request can be a valuable instrument for resolving conflicts, its
requirement must be considered in light of the particularities of each case, ensuring
that it does not become an obstacle to the full exercise of citizens’ rights.
