Análise socioeconômica da produção leiteira: um estudo de caso com os produtores rurais da Cooperativa Agroindustrial do Vale do Ivinhema - COOPAVIL

Abstract

Dairy agribusiness is one of the most important to the world’s economic context. In recent decades, it has undergone major changes coming out of the exploration of support for professionalization, focusing on the production in large scale, with quality, value addition and industrialization of differentiated products. In Mato Grosso do Sul there is a need for action to boost the sector to seek higher levels of production and productivity, and incentives to agribusiness in order to add value to them. This research, conducted at Cooperativa Agroindustrial do Vale do Ivinhema, aimed to identify the aspects that influence the sustainability of milk production, analyze what social consequences can be perceived in the quality of life of its members, and to evaluate the economic performance of the farms studied. Therefore, a literature review was conducted along with the application of interview scripts with the cooperative producers. The results show a low sustainability index regarding the social and economic dimensions analyzed.
