Análise descritiva da agroindústria do Nordeste

Abstract

Agribusiness in the Northeast region is a dynamic and strategic economic activity that promotes sustainable development in the interior of the states. Therefore, the objective of the research was to analyze the contribution of rural agroindustrial production in the Northeast Region. To this end, it is important to identify the predominant typology in the semi-arid region of the Northeast, to verify whether credit lines are received and what they are, in addition to verifying which agro-industrial products were most produced in the municipalities of the semi-arid Northeast, in 2017. Then, a research was carried out with data provided by the last Agricultural Census carried out by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) in 2017 through descriptive analysis. In view of this, it was found that the states of Maranhão and Bahia are the ones with the highest number of establishments that had income from agroindustry products; non-family farming in the state of Bahia was responsible for the highest value of rural agro-industrial production, and establishments in the region produced more cassava flour, cheese, curd, gum or tapioca, meat from other animals (green) and charcoal. Finally, it is concluded that the PRONAF credit was a great ally of family farming, especially the PRONAF B credit line.
