Assentamentos rurais da Superintendência Regional do INCRA de Marabá- PA: diagnóstico da ocupação, infraestrutura e produção

Abstract

This article aims to present the socioeconomic, productive and infrastructure conditions of the rural settlements of the Regional Superintendence of the National Institute of Colonization and Agrarian Reform (INCRA) of Marabá, Pará, with emphasis on access to Installation Credit, occupation of lots, housing conditions, cultivation practices, livestock production and forms of commercialization. The methodology was based on a descriptive statistical analysis of secondary data from INCRA's National Occupational Supervision System (SNSO). The results point to low access to Installation Credit in the settlements, unequal occupation of lots and housing built in agrarian reform areas, however, with limitations regarding access to electricity and quality water. Agricultural production is geared towards family self-consumption, with poorly structured marketing channels and reduced access to institutional and formal markets. Cattle farming and fish farming concentrate animal production. With the analysis carried out, it is possible to conclude that the effectiveness of the agrarian reform policy in the area of operation of the Marabá Regional Superintendence depends on the strengthening of actions that expand basic infrastructure, diversify production and promote greater equity among settlers.
