Income of cooperated farmers and agroindustries in Santa Catarina, Brazil
Journal Title: Revista Verde de Agroecologia e Desenvolvimento Sustentável - Year 2019, Vol 14, Issue 1
Abstract
The study analyzed the impact of public programs: the National School Food Program (PNAE) and Food Acquisition Program (PAA) on the gross income of agribusinesses and family farmers marketing their products through cooperatives in Santa Catarina, southern Brazil. The data studied are 179 farmers and 74 agribusinesses. We model average sale returns per unit for farmers and agribusinesses as a function of the intensity of use of organic agriculture, type of sale: supermarkets or government programs, and type of food: fruits, vegetables, meat, eggs and dairy and bakery products. For both farmers and agribusinesses, we found to be more advantageous to sell processed foods to supermarkets. For farmers and agroindustries it is advantageous to sell processed foods for supermarkets. For individual farmers it is advantageous to sell fresh fruits and increase the proportion of sales of organic products. For agribusinesses, selling vegetables resulted in lower income and the sale of organic products does not significantly affect the income of the agroindustries.
