Participação da agricultura familiar da região semiárida na floricultura brasileira

Abstract

The Brazilian Semi-Arid Region presents edaphoclimatic conditions that are not always favorable to agricultural activities. And when it does, market, distribution, income factors, among others, can interfere in the marketing of products. However, with regard to the floriculture activity, this, as it presents greater commitment from producers, is conducted in smaller areas and has better logistics and distribution channels, has advanced in the region so that considerable contributions are already visible in establishments and lace. However, the data contained in the publications are always referenced to the Northeast and Southeast regions without specifying the true contribution of the Semiarid Region. In this way, using the database of the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics represented by the IBGE Automatic Recovery System and Table 6951 and its subdivisions, a specific matrix spreadsheet was generated and this was broken down into tables to consolidate the discussions. The results found allowed to draw a more adequate profile where contributions of the Semiarid Region in floriculture were observed in 9.94% of the establishments and product sales values of 5.14% at the national level. Family farming in the region has contributed with 11.15% of the establishments, 5.16% of the sales value of products for national family farming. At the level of the Semiarid Region, contributions from family farming are more significant, representing 76.56% of establishments and 80.69% of the valueof product sales. The Semiarid region of Bahia contributed with the largest number of establishments. The semi-arid region of Pernambuco, due to the higher sales value of products and the higher annual income per establishment. The Cutting Flowers and Leaves segment was the one that presented the highest values in number of establishments, in product sales values and annual income per establishments, followed, respectively, by the Ornamental Plant Seedlings segment. At the regional level, the Pernambucano Semiarid Region stood out in number of establishments in the Cutting Flowers and Foliage segment, in sales value of products in the Cutting Flowers and Foliage segmentof Ornamental Plants and higher annual income values per establishment in the Flowers and Foliage for Cutting, Ornamental Plant Seedlings and Seedlings and Other Propagation Forms Produced for Planting. The semi-arid region of Bahia stood out in terms of sales value of products in the Grass segments; Ornamental Plants in Pots and Seedlings and Other Propagation Forms Produced forPlanting; and a greater number of establishments for the segments Grasses, Seedlings of Ornamental Plants and Plants, Flowers, Medicinal Leaves and Seedlings and Other Forms of Propagation Produced for Planting, Ornamental Plants in Pots. The semiarid region of Piauí stood out in terms of the highest annual income per establishment for the Grams segment. The semi-arid region of Paraíba presented the best annual income values per establishment for the Plants, Flowers, Medicinal Foliage segment. The Cearense Semi-Arid region for the higher sales value of products and annual income per establishment in the Plants, Flowers, Medicinal Foliage segment. In the Seeds Produced for Planting segment, the semiarid region of Minas Gerais stood out in terms of number of establishments, sales value of products and annual/establishment income. This plurality of contributions certainly places the Semi-Arid Region, and family farming, in a prominent situation in relation to Brazilian floriculture, although there are still no such advantageous remunerations when compared to the regional and national scenarios for the same activity.
