Análise dos programas para comercialização da agricultura familiar em Dourados-MS: um estudo do perfil socioeconômico dos feirantes

Abstract

From the observation of the increase in the number of Pronaf contracts in recent years in Brazil, the work aims to draw a panorama of the evolution of credit via Pronaf in Mato Grosso do Sul and also to draw a socioeconomic profile of marketers of the city of Dourados, with the purpose of knowing if they have access and knowledge of the credit lines that the government provides, and to verify the difficulties that the workers of the João Totó Câmara fair find in their work. For this purpose, a descriptive analysis of Pronaf resources was carried out through data collected from the MDA (Ministry of Agrarian Development) and through a questionnaire applied to 35 fair traders that are part of the main fair of the city of Dourados (João Totó Câmara). The survey found that the evolution of Pronaf in Mato Grosso do Sul grew 681.75% between the 2005/2006 to 2014/2015 crop years and that the number of DAP's (Declaration of Aptitude to Pronaf) issued in Brazil and in Mato Grosso do Sul has been increasing significantly, providing greater access of family producers to Pronaf. The João Totó Câmara free fair is mostly made up of product dealers where the vast majority of these products are bought out of state. From the research conducted it was possible to observe that most marketers do not have Pronaf funding, for fear of not being able to pay and for having difficult access and also for finding the process quite bureaucratic and inaccessible.
