Analysis of socioeconomic indicators of rural properties in Nova Esperança do Sudoeste - PR

Abstract

Obtaining income from farming activities is intrinsically linked to economic, social, and environmental bias. In this sense, seeking to understand income generation, eight rural properties in the municipality of Nova Esperança do Sudoeste - PR were studied, relating quantitative indicators of Gross Product (PB), Intermediate Consumption (CI), and Agricultural Income (RA). This analysis used the variables produced by the extension project and discipline Planning of Rural Properties that is practiced in an academic and social environment in the agronomy course of the Federal Technological University of Paraná, Campus Dois Vizinhos, whose methodology is divided into three main parts: diagnosis, rural planning and feedback to rural producers. In this context, information was used about the production systems of the properties mainly focused on dairy production, an agricultural area, PB/ha, CI/ha, AR/ha, and two indices calculated through the contrast between the indicators (RA(ha)/ CI(ha)) and (RA(ha)/PB(ha)). In this analysis, different income generation strategies were noted, being differentiated by the degree of investment with inputs, where, in general, the properties that invested more, obtained better returns, with exceptions in which the gross wealth produced was not consistent with the amount invested, generating economic inefficiency of the activity.
