This study aimed to analyze the effects of certain activities in the agropecuary sector related to bioeconomy on the economy of Pará, using the Input-Output Matrix. The sources of information included the Table of Resources and Uses of Pará 2017, the microdata from the Regional Accounts System, and data from the Agricultural Census. The methodology followed the procedures of the National Accounts System, utilizing the tables of resources and uses and the input-output matrix, applying the Leontief Model. However, some adaptations of the conventional methodology were necessary to obtain results within a perspective attributed to a bioecological bioeconomy. To estimate the value of this bioeconomy, the TRU was reorganized by selecting certain activities and products related to bioeconomy, with the main selection criteria being products that are, in some way, associated with the concepts of a sociobiodiversity bioeconomy and that do not tend toward monoculture, soil degradation, or the process of homogenization, such as commodity production. After defining the activities, the product and activity coefficients were calculated to be used in the disaggregation of TRU Pará 2017, aiming to highlight the valuation of these activities. Subsequently, the Leontief matrix was constructed, involving intersectoral relationships of the sector, which supported the analysis of the degree of integration of this bioeconomy with other sectors of the economy of Pará. The results obtained show that, in 2017, the GDP of the activities selected in the study attributed to bioeconomy was R$ 8,363 million, corresponding to 5.4% of the GDP of Pará (R$ 155,195 million). Considering only the activities attributed to bioeconomy, the key sectors with high backward linkage values were: Forestry (1.150) and the extraction of rubber, fibers, and tannins (1.055). The activities that were close to one, meaning they are significant demanders of other sectors, were: Fishing and aquaculture (0.957); Aromatics, waxes, and oilseeds (0.941); Food (0.932); and Honey (0.913). Forward, the highlighted activities were: Açaí (1.007); Milk (1.006); Cassava (1.001); and Other temporary crop products (1.007). In terms of multipliers, Forestry presented the highest product multiplier (1.41), followed by the activities of: Rubber, fibers, and tannins (1.29); Fishing and aquaculture (1.17); Aromatics, waxes, and oilseeds (1.15); and Food (1.14). Among the employment multipliers, the highlights were: Forestry (1.21); Other temporary crop products (1.10); Rubber, fibers, and tannins (1.09); and Honey (1.06). For income multipliers, the highest indices were: Forestry (3.38); Rubber, fibers, and tannins (2.20); Fishing and aquaculture (1.66); Aromatics, waxes, and oilseeds (1.47); and Food from plant extraction, except açaí (1.42). The results demonstrate the importance of bioeconomy, even considering only some aspects, and provide public management with information and techniques for measuring the impacts of sustainable development policies through the promotion of bioeconomy activities.

O sistema da bioeconomia do açaí no contexto amazônico de Abaetetuba/PA
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2024-09-03) QUEIROZ, Luiz Fernando Paes de; SOBRINHO, Mário Vasconcellos; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7843288526039148; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6489-219X; FLORES, Maria do Socorro Almeida; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8875436559577793; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9154-6938
The concept of bioeconomy has undergone continuous transformations since its earliest mentions, expanding in scope and application. To deepen the understanding of its origins and evolution, this research approaches bioeconomy from academic, political-institutional, and Amazonian perspectives. This conceptual basis enabled the identification of the foundational elements of the Amazonian bioeconomy and, more specifically, the structure of the açaí bioeconomy. This product, essential to the diet of riverine populations, has become a global commodity, driving an economic activity that generates employment and income for thousands of families in the region. Pará is the largest açaí producer in Brazil, and the municipality of Abaetetuba, the focus of this study, holds the third-largest production in the state, establishing itself as an important hub of goods and services in the Baixo Tocantins region. However, this activity faces political-institutional, economic, social, technological, and environmental challenges involving traditional communities, government institutions, and business sectors. In this context, the primary objective of this research is to demonstrate how the açaí bioeconomy is structured within the Amazonian context of Abaetetuba/PA, proposing a systemic model with its core elements. Through a literature review, document analysis, and interviews with key actors in the production chain, it was possible to develop an analytical model in diagrams, representing both the Amazon Bioeconomy System and the Açaí Bioeconomy System. These models provide an integrated view of the interactions among their different components, allowing a systemic understanding of the challenges and opportunities involved. As a result, the analysis revealed both strengths and weaknesses of this complex system, indicating that açaí production cannot be understood in isolation or linearly but rather as part of a living system, in which multiple factors mutually influence final outcomes. Furthermore, the research highlighted the importance of public policies that encourage the formalization of the production chain, access to credit, technical assistance, and the implementation of sustainable management practices. Based on the issues identified throughout the research, contributory proposals were developed to improve governance strategies. These proposals are directly aligned with the study's findings, addressing observed demands and gaps while strengthening the articulation among the various actors, processes, and activities involved.
