New programs have been elaborated with the intent of building differentiated policies for the rural milieu since the process of democratization in Brazil. One of the guaranteed activities that have integrated the intervention agenda is the agroindustrialization of small-scale production, understood as an important strategy of social reproduction for those engaged in family-run agriculture. The central aim of this article is to analyze and problematize the spatial distribution of the results generated by the Program for Agroindustrialization of Family-Run Agriculture. To develop this research, semi-structured interviews were held with the Program’s managers. Also, official documents and other secondary sources which portrait and discuss this public policy were analyzed. In general terms, the study points out to the fact that the analyzed Program has achieved a concentration of its results in the southern parts of Brazil, in detriment of the North and Northeast, showing that the operational structure of this mechanism of intervention has disregarded the particularities of some localities at the expense of others.
