Abstract:

Over time, family farmers have been on the sidelines of public policies that have fostered their development since the colonial period. However, after the promulgation of the Federal Constitution of 1988, added to various social movements that claimed policies that really assist this people, in 1995, the National Family Farming Program (PRONAF) was created, with the objective of enhancing the development of farmers, with an increase in income, quality of life, number of jobs, in addition to the permanence of man in the countryside. Thus, this study aimed to analyze the distribution of PRONAF resources in the state of Pará in the period from 2016 to 2020. Taking into account that in Pará rural establishments are predominantly family farming, corresponding to more than 85%. Therefore, this study found that the state of Pará had a share of more than 21.9% of the resources distributed in the Northern Region in 2020, obtaining expressive growths in the period studied in the costing modality, with emphasis on the livestock activity this year, It is noteworthy that over the period studied there was an increase of 183% in the total value of PRONAF resources financed in the state of Pará, and that in 2020 the state received R$ 490,666,354.83 totaling 12,674 contracts. Furthermore, it is worth noting that the southeast region of Pará was the region that had the greatest increase in receipts of resources from PRONAF in the period studied, 184% between the years 2016 to 2020.
