Abstract

Objetiva-se conhecer as facilidades e/ou dificuldades enfrentadas pelos produtores, os entraves à organização social, as dificuldades para praticar atividades irrigadas, as principais razões para a não exploração de mais terras e tendências futuras apontadas pelos produtores situados nos perímetros e assentamentos do entorno da barragem do Açude Castanhão, no vale do Jaguaribe, no Estado do Ceará. Os dados são provenientes de pesquisa direta, coletados por meio de aplicação de questionários. Utilizam-se o método descritivo para análise e discussão dos resultados, após cálculos de freqüências, tabelas e outras informações estatísticas selecionadas. Os principais problemas apontados pelos produtores dos perímetros são a falta de capital de giro, seguido pela falta de mão-de-obra especializada, de crédito, de máquinas e equipamentos. Para os assentamentos, os principais problemas são a falta de capital de giro, de máquinas e equipamentos, de mão-de-obra especializada, de crédito e de água, entre outros. Constata-se que os fatores de produção são escassos e os produtores desenvolvem atividades de subsistência com baixo nível tecnológico. A maioria dos assentados em área de sequeiro do entorno da barragem não visualizava melhoria de condição de vida advinda da construção do açude.-----------------------------------This study aims to investigate advantages and disadvantages faced by the producers regarding the barriers concerning the social organization, the difficulties of exercising the irrigated agriculture by the producers, the main reasons of not expanding the cultivated lands, and the future tendencies of the producers located at the irrigation district and settlements surrounding the Castanhão dam, at Jaguaribe Valle, in the State of Ceará.
