Abstract

The purpose of this work is to provide a quantitative descriptive analysis of the amount of contracting under the PRONAF (National Program for Strengthening Family Agriculture) carried out by the Bank of the Northeast of Brazil, in the municipalities covered by the Serra Talhada Agency in the period from 2010 to 2018, through data available on the bank's own website. Additionally, analyzing the inter-municipal oscillations throughout the period, comparing with the volume of hirings by the Program, in the state of Pernambuco and in all the coverage of the bank. As a main result, it was verified that the Serra Talhada Agency - PE was responsible for more than R $ 110 million of PRONAF hiring in the period, an average of 4.44% of the total of Pernambuco, showing its important relevance in the application of the Program. The analysis by municipalities showed a positive relation between rural population size and territorial extension with the volume of contracting, being Serra Talhada and São José do Belmonte the largest contractors of the period. Finally, the study of hiring by groups highlighted the importance of the small family farmer, since, even in the lowest income bracket (gross annual family income of up to R $ 23,000.00), PRONAF Group "B" was responsible for more of the hiring of the period.
