Análise sistêmica da cadeia produtiva do mamão irrigado no Baixo Acaraú

Abstract

This work was carried out in order to analyze the systems of the productive chain of papaya in the Irrigated Perimeter of the Baixo Acaraú under the economic, agronomic, social, cultural, environmental and political. The study was conducted through questionnaires with producers and a workshop on participatory research. Many of the producers had no experience with fruit and produce without assistance. The costs that producers have with inputs are large. They were disorganized and cooperatives are only for the funding. Payment of water and funding has been delinquent for many producers whoclaim high rates for water and little understanding of the bank your payment terms. Moreover, the profit does not occur because the production is sold to middlemen who give price and are the only means of marketing. The political agents who take care of the perimeter to hold meetings there is an improvement, but systems are defective in chain.
