The study aimed to show that the lack of strategic planning and costs in the production of family farms in the Itaubal Settlement Project in the municipality of Itaubal in the state of Amapá, Brazil threatens its extinction. For that, research was carried out to understand the current situation, to indicate lines of action for the elaboration of these plans. The work began with the socio-economic survey of the settlers, analysis of scenarios through the matrix (SWOT), which allowed to determine the current situation and the strategic position of competitiveness of the properties.
