Resumo: | In the last few decades, the agricultural extension services in Mozambique have been focused mainly on the training and strengthening of producer associations, improved technology transfer, and technical assistance. This study aimed to establish the demographic and socioeconomic characteristics of the producers which impact the access to agricultural extension services. In methodological terms, a logistic regression model was estimated and the variables used were provided by 2010 Agricultural and Livestock Census, also known as CAP- (Portuguese acronym for Censo Agropecuário de 2010). Results showed that despite the universal character of the agricultural extension policy, the distribution of access to these services was very uneven, in terms of variables such as gender and age of the household head, education levels, ability to read, and technology use (irrigation, fertilizers, and pesticides). This information is highly relevant to decision-making, as it can guide future improvements in the services, both in terms of coverage and of quality of the technical assistance. |

El objetivo de esta investigación es establecer las características demográficas y socioeconómicas de los productores que inciden en el acceso a los servicios de extensión rural en el país. En términos metodológicos, se estimó um modelo de regresión logística basado en las variables del Censo Agropecuario 2010 conocido como CAP 2010. Los resultados muestran que el acesso a los servicios de extensión rural es bastante desigual, especialmente en relación com variables como género del jefe de hogar, edad del jefe de hogar, educación, género del jefe de hogar, saber leer, uso de tecnología (riego, fertilizantes, pesticidas). Esta información es muy relevante para la toma de decisiones, ya que puede orientar la mejora de los servicios, tanto en la cobertura como en la calidad de los procesos de asistencia técnica.Nas últimas décadas o foco dos serviços de extensão rural em Moçambique tem sido orientado principalmente no treinamento, fortalecimento de associações de produtores, transferência de tecnologias melhoradas e assistência técnica. O objetivo desta pesquisa é de estabelecer quais as características demográficas e socioeconômicas dos produtores que incidem no acesso aos serviços de extensão rural no país. Em termos metodológicos foi estimado o modelo de regressão logística e foram usadas variáveis provenientes do Censo Agropecuário de 2010 conhecido por CAP 2010. Os resultados revelam que, pese ao caráter universal da política de extensão rural, a distribuição do acesso a esses serviços é bastante desigual, em relação as variáveis como gênero do chefe do agregado familiar, idade do chefe do agregado familiar, escolaridade, género do chefe do agregado familiar, saber ler, uso da tecnologia (rega, fertilizantes, pesticidas). Estas informações são muito relevantes para a tomada de decisão, na medida em que podem orientar o aprimoramento dos serviços, tanto em termos de cobertura e qualidade dos processos de assistência técnica.Research, Society and Development2022-03-04info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/2671310.33448/rsd-v11i3.26713Research, Society and Development; Vol. 11 No. 3; e48411326713Research, Society and Development; Vol. 11 Núm. 3; e48411326713Research, Society and Development; v. 11 n. 3; e484113267132525-3409reponame:Research, Society and Developmentinstname:Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)instacron:UNIFEIenghttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/26713/23456Copyright (c) 2022 Arsenio Arão Jorge; Ana Marcela Ardila Pintohttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessJorge, Arsenio Arão Pinto, Ana Marcela Ardila 2022-03-09T13:44:38Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/26713Revistahttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/indexPUBhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/oairsd.articles@gmail.com2525-34092525-3409opendoar:2024-01-17T09:44:41.165871Research, Society and Development - Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)false |
