A distribuição dos recursos e contratos do Programa Nacional de Fortalecimento da Agricultura Familiar (PRONAF) nos Municípios do COREDE Missões/RS

Abstract

Family farming began to be recognized from the 1990s, where the precarious social and labor conditions of small producers required state intervention in the construction of public policies appropriate to their specificities. Given this need, the National Program for Strengthening Family Farming (Pronaf), created in 1996 through the Secretariat of Family Farming, originated in order to finance projects for family farmers. In this sense, the objective of this study is to analyze the fundraising and characteristics of Pronaf contracts in the municipalities of Corede Missões / RS (2013-2018). The methodology adopted in this work is quantitative and descriptive. Data collection for this study was done through the Rural Credit Data Matrix, available on the Central Bank of Brazil website, for the period 2013-2018. The main results show that approximately 77 thousand contracts and approximately 1.3 billion reais were funded in agricultural and livestock activities, in which the main products obtained were grains and cattle, especially the municipalities of Giruá and São Paulo. Missions Regarding the type of investment, in the agricultural and livestock activities, around 16 thousand contracts and approximately 610 million reais were raised, where the main products obtained were cattle and machinery and implements, especially the municipalities of Porto Xavier and Giruá. . Thus, Pronaf is portrayed as a public policy that has been favoring Corede Missões, mainly in productive costing, grain planting, cattle and machinery purchases.
