A tendência atual para o produto agroecológico em termos de mercado é de ampliar as vendas e a distribuição deixando de atender somente o mercado de nicho direcionando a produção para diversos mercados. Atualmente os produtos agroecológicos podem ser encontrados tanto em lojas secundárias, feiras livres, supermercados como até podem ser recebidos em cestas a domicilio, ou seja, as vendas podem atingir o mercado de massa. O conhecimento da diversidade dos sistemas de produção e do consumidor de produtos agroecológicos é de fundamental importância para o estabelecimento de políticas públicas de fortalecimento da produção e do consumo. Com parte de tal objetivo os consumidores da feira de agricultores orgânicos de Rio Branco, Acre, foram entrevistados no segundo semestre de 2007. Foram analisados diversos aspectos socioeconômicos e culturais dos entrevistados. Os resultados foram analisados e permitem concluir que o consumidor das feiras de Rio Branco é casado, assíduo, bem informado sobre causas ambientais e sobre a origem dos produtos, apresenta meia idade de ambos os sexos, nível elevado de escolaridade, adquirem os produtos na feira porque acreditam que os alimentos são saudáveis, mais baratos na feira e mantém certa relação com o agricultor e apresentam hábitos diversificados de consumo. A venda direta é o mais importante instrumento econômico dentro do arranjo produtivo de produtos orgânicos em Rio Branco, permitindo garantia de renda ao agricultor eliminando intermediários e garante estabelecimento de relações de confiança, rastreabilidade do produto, via ligação agricultor-consumidor. Os incentivos governamentais no transporte e concessão do ponto de venda privilegiado associados à fidelidade dos consumidores são fatores essenciais de sucesso da feira em dez de existência. Os dados desta pesquisa mostraram que os produtos comercializados não recebem remuneração maior que os convencionais por serem agroecológicos, embora a maioria dos consumidores seja uma elite intelectual e econômica. ------------------------------------------------Abstract - The growth in agroecologicals food production in Brazil and the world has been caused by factors such as keys; demand of urban consumers and the growing awareness of the society on environmental issues and concerns of individuals with health.
