Políticas Públicas Agrárias do Governo Departamental “Programa Ñepytyvo”, em benefício da Agricultura Familiar de Santa Rosa Missiones: Possibilidade de Incorporação das Máquinas do NIMEq-UFPel-Brasil

Abstract

The development of family farming in Santa Rosa largely depends on the implementation of agrarian policies adapted to the current needs of family establishments, taking into account the importance of technological changes in the production system and its link with society. In this way, we sought to investigate the impact of the Agrarian Public Policies of the Departmental Government “Ñepytyvo Program”, as well as the level of adoption of technologies by family farmers in Santa Rosa Missiones and the feasibility of technological solutions advocated under the NIMEq-UFPel, Brazil. The work was developed through the application of three interviews with a script of open questions for the authorities and seventy surveys with a script of semi-structured open and closed questions for family producers. The results show that, on average, these properties have 5.9 ha, intended mainly for the production of cattle, with the remainder destined for agricultural production, with subsistence crops mainly corn, cassava, beans and vegetables. The way to carry out the main crops is through the use of manual weeding, backpack sprayer, manual seeder (saraquá) and moldboard plow. The main source of traction is human, followed by the use of ox. The Ñepytyvo Program started in 2003, and most producers joined it in order to obtain soil preparation and receive government benefits. It was found that currently only 30% of the interviewed producers are satisfied with the benefits obtained by the Program. The biggest disadvantage, for most producers, is that jobs are not performed at the proper time. To improve the Program, they require technical support to control production activities and mechanization tasks focused on soil recovery and on making machines, equipment and tools available to producers, in order to be selfsufficient. The recommendation is to incorporate seeding machines and thermal control of spontaneous plants developed in the PPGSPAF-NIMEq-UFPel into the production system, expand the agreement between EBY-Governo-MAG, provide lowpower tractors with their implements and offer regular technical support to organized family groups.
