Abstract

It analyzed the characteristics of the production systems of small farmers who have been developing the management of bacuri trees (Platonia insignis Mart.) in the Northeast of Pará and Marajó. The choice of the Mesoregions of the Northeast of Pará and Marajó was due to the information that they are producing areas that account for the largest supply of bacuri fruits in the state of Pará. To carry out the field survey, an intentional sampling was chosen, considering only small farmers who had bacurizaeiros in their establishments. A total of 77 questionnaires were applied among the 7 municipalities studied, 57 in the Northeastern Mesoregion of Pará and 20 in Marajó. From the socioeconomic survey carried out in the Mesoregions of the Northeast of Pará and Marajó, the most relevant data were analyzed that would allow the profile of farmers who carry out the management of bacuri trees and who carry out some type of fruit or pulp marketing to be generated. of bacuri. It is also concluded that the management of bacuri trees constitutes an important family strategy for the maintenance of families in the countryside and presents growth potential capable of meeting export demand, important for income generation.
