Abstract

A agroindústria da castanha de caju responde pelo maior percentual de exportação do agronegócio do Estado do Ceará. Com relação às exportações de ACC, em 2003 foram geradas divisas da ordem de US$ 144 milhões, o que confere ao agronegócio caju um lugar de destaque no "ranking" das exportações do Nordeste e o primeiro do Estado do Ceará. A amêndoa da castanha de caju, principal produto exportado é produzido, em sua grande maioria, pela agricultura familiar, que não se apropria de sequer uma parcela mínima, desses dividendos. Opera nessa cadeia agroalimentar, um sistema de comercialização mediado por atravessadores que personalizam a grandes agroindústrias. Com o intuito de agregar valor à matéria prima produzida pela agricultura familiar, a Embrapa Agroindústria Tropical, desenvolveu a tecnologia minifábricas de beneficiamento da castanha de caju que permite às comunidades da agricultura familiar concorrer à pauta das exportações do Estado. A Fundação Banco do Brasil-FBB reconheceu o processo de minifábricas como uma tecnologia social, por sua capacidade de gerar emprego e renda para agricultura familiar que agrupa no entorno dessa cadeia produtiva no Nordeste brasileiro. Assim, em parceria com a Embrapa, Sebrae, Incubadora de Cooperativas Populares da Universidade Federal do Ceará, Conab, Incra, Emater Ceará, Governo dos Estados e Agências do Banco do Brasil, a FBB apoiou o projeto de revitalização de minifábricas, contemplado a implantação no Ceará, Rio Grande do Norte e Piauí. O presente trabalho tem por objetivo apresentar um estudo preliminar do impacto social dessa intervenção, elegendo para estudo de caso, o Assentamento São José II, denominado Che Guevara que está localizado no município de Ocara, a oitenta quilômetros de Fortaleza.----------------------------------------------------The agribusiness of the cashew nut answered by a higher percentage of the export agribusiness of the state of Ceará.
