Abstract

Abstract: Babassu-nuts are one of the most important socio-biodiversity products in Brazil. Detailed and reliable information on the babassu value chain is essential for local and regional public policies to support the economy associated with the extraction of this product and vulnerable social groups that depend on it for survival. This study presents a methodology to analyze the babassu value chain and discusses results obtained in 2021 from the application of this methodology in Vale do Mearim, Maranhão, the region with the highest babassu production in the country. The study contributes to the evaluation of the accuracy of official statistics on production and involvement in babassu extractive activity and discusses implications for the most relevant public policy for non-timber forest products in Brazil, the Minimum Price Policy for Socio-biodiversity Products (PGPM-Bio). In a territory comprising 25 municipalities, we interviewed about 640 local traders, who purchased 6,000 tons of almonds from 9,000 extractivist families, with an annual average of 661 kg per family. These local traders passed the production to 23 regional traders, who transported it to 11 industrial pressing units for oil production, 8 of them located in the same territory. According to the field research, the volume commercialized corresponds to 27% of the official estimate for the previous year, denoting a reduction in production and in the number of persons engaged in extraction activity much higher than the downward trend indicated by official statistics. Considering that determining the Gross Domestic Product of municipalities, as well as planning and monitoring the implementation of policies such as PGPM-Bio should take into account outreach indicators based on official statistics, the analyses suggest reviewing procedures to obtain annual estimates of babassu extraction.
对巴西maranh Mearim山谷传统农业采掘社区支持政策指导的核桃价值链剖析
摘要:巴巴苏坚果是巴西最重要的社会生物多样性产品之一。关于巴巴苏价值链的详细和可靠信息对于地方和区域公共政策至关重要,以支持与该产品开采相关的经济和依赖该产品生存的弱势社会群体。本研究提出了一种分析巴巴苏价值链的方法,并讨论了2021年在该国巴巴苏产量最高的maranh地区Vale do Mearim应用该方法获得的结果。该研究有助于评估关于巴巴苏采伐活动的生产和参与的官方统计数据的准确性,并讨论了对巴西非木材林产品最相关的公共政策,即社会生物多样性产品最低价格政策的影响。在一个由25个市镇组成的领土内,我们采访了大约640名当地商人,他们从9 000个采矿者家庭购买了6 000吨杏仁,每个家庭平均每年购买661公斤。这些当地的贸易商将产品传递给23个区域贸易商,这些贸易商将其运送到11个工业压榨单位进行石油生产,其中8个位于同一地区。根据实地研究,商品化的数量相当于前一年官方估计数的27%,这表明产量和从事采掘活动的人数的减少远远高于官方统计数字所显示的下降趋势。考虑到确定各市的国内生产总值以及规划和监测诸如pgmm - bio等政策的执行应考虑到基于官方统计的外联指标,分析建议审查程序,以获得巴巴苏采伐的年度估计数。
