The study aims to measure the technological level of the beekeepers beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries of Food Acquisition Program (PAA) and to identify the main socioeconomic determinants of technological level of these beekeepers in the state of Ceará. In order to measure the technological level, the technique of factor analysis was used and to identify its socioeconomic determinants, we used for the logistic regression model. The results indicate that the PAA influenced the adoption of recommended practices and techniques that determine directly on the technological level of its beneficiaries. In addition, the technological level of beekeepers is primarily determined by characteristics of beekeepers in beekeeping and beekeepers who are older are more rigid in relation to technological change and the more educated adopt more appropriate technological practices.
