Abstract

A agricultura no Brasil é, historicamente, umas das principais bases da economia do país, desde os primórdios da colonização até o século XXI. Na região Norte brasileira, a agropecuária tem papel de destaque na economia regional. O objetivo deste estudo é avaliar a situação recente da agricultura nortista com o intuito de identificar limitações e oportunidades ao seu desenvolvimento e debater propostas de políticas públicas que possam contribuir para a ampliação da produção regional. Vários fatores são frequentemente apontados como potenciais entraves ao desenvolvimento da agropecuária na região, entre eles questões ambientais, deficiência logística, atraso tecnológico, falta de crédito, falta de assistência técnica, entre outros. No geral,constata-se a baixa produtividade atual da maioria das cadeias produtivas componentes da agropecuária regional, entre as causas desse cenário incluem-se questões como uma crise de investimentos e a dificuldade dos produtores de intensificar seus sistemas produtivos.
