Family agroindustry: a mechanism stimulating specialisation in farm estate activities?
Family agroindustry has been considered by several authors as an important reproduction alternative for family-based agriculture. However, this production process, which includes primary (production of raw-materials) and secondary (industrialization of production) activities, is generating a general concern. Can agroindustry, by promoting non-agricultural income for farmers, cause a reduction or, in extreme cases, an extinction of agricultural production in farm estates developing industrialization activities for selling in markets (family agroindustries)? In this sense, the purpose of this research was to analyse whether agroindustry can promote specialisation in family-based farm estates, or whether it is a form of economic diversification, being merely an activity similar to those developed in farm estates before the emergence of this process. The empirical study was conducted in 45 family agroindustries of sugarcane derivatives located in the Northeast of Rio Grande do Sul (Brazil)

No entanto, esse processo de produção, que congrega atividades primárias (produção de matéria-prima) e secundárias (industrialização da produção), acaba por criar a preocupação de que a agroindústria, enquanto promotora de geração de renda não-agrícola para os agricultores, pode trazer uma redução ou, em casos mais extremos, a extinção da produção agropecuária nas propriedades em que se encontra a industrialização para venda (agroindústria familiar). A partir dai, o objetivo dessa pesquisa foi verificar se a agroindústria pode induzir a uma especialização nas propriedades de base familiar ou vem como uma forma de diversificação econômica e como uma atividade correlata com as demais ocupações que já vinham sendo desenvolvidas nas unidades anteriormente í criação desse empreendimento. O estudo empírico foi realizado com 45 agroindústrias familiares de derivados da cana-de-açúcar situadas no noroeste do Rio Grande do Sul (Brasil) Centro de Historia Argentina y Americana 2009-07-30 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf text/html https://www.mundoagrario.unlp.edu.ar/article/view/v09n18a02 Mundo Agrario; Vol. 9 No. 18 (2009) Mundo Agrario; Vol. 9 Núm. 18 (2009) Mundo Agrario; Vol. 9 N.º 18 (2009) 1515-5994 spa por https://www.mundoagrario.unlp.edu.ar/article/view/v09n18a02/830 https://www.mundoagrario.unlp.edu.ar/article/view/v09n18a02/831 |
