Family Farming is an economic category, responsible for producing most of the food that goes to the table of the Brazilian people, generating food sovereignty, employment and income. One of the sectors worked in agriculture is fruit growing and within it is the production of Pitayas, which captivates the taste of consumers and provides profitability for producers. To collect data, I applied an electronic questionnaire, with objective and descriptive questions, through the Google form to producers of Pitayas in the southern region of Brazil. The data obtained in the research were grouped and analyzed through graphs and tables in order to build strategies for future applications in production.
