Resumo: | Rio Grande do Norte apiculture grew 500% between 2000 and 2009, promising to be an emergent proposal for agricultural sector in semiarid region. However from 2009 to 2015, production and beekeeping income fell sharply mainly due to typical climatic conditions of semiarid region, but with greater intensity in the period; drought drastically devastated northeast Brazil between the years 2012-2015 and fall of State GDP reduced incomes of beekeepers, which caused a disincentive and led this activity to decline. In October 2012 a follow-up survey started in order to assess beekeeping sustainability as family farming in the State through its social, economic and environmental indicators, and in October 2015 survey was finished with the same respondents, enabling to drawing a profile of beekeeping in the State during that period. PSI/ER (Pressure-State-Impact/Effect-Response) matrix was used to design the questionnaire itself. 63 random samples, surveyed in 2012 and untimely replicated till 2015, were analyzed. It was found that honeybees' colonies abscond with drought and high temperatures; beekeeping is greatly influenced, positively and negatively, by environment and public policies, despite the efforts dedicated to apiculture in region; and that, according to respondents, beekeeping is still underdeveloped mainly due to social problems (49.9%) as low participation of women, low educational level, aging of beekeepers; economic/technological problems (30.9%) as lack of quality of bee products, diversification of production, proper management and lack of financing; and environmental problems (19.2%) as drought and high temperatures. The absence of a methodology to avoiding effects of external variables to production process at family farming level has led this activity to decline. |

Entretanto de 2009 até 2015 a produção e renda apícola caíram drasticamente principalmente devido a fatores climáticos típicos da região semiárida, porém com maior intensidade nesse período, como a drástica seca que assolou o nordeste entre os anos 2012 a 2015 e a queda do PIB do Estado, fatores que reduziram as rendas dos apicultores, o que causou um desestimulo e levou essa atividade ao declínio. Em outubro de 2012 iniciou-se uma pesquisa com o objetivo de avaliar as condições de sustentabilidade da apicultura como atividade agropecuária familiar no Estado, através dos seus indicadores sociais, econômicos e ambientais, encerrando-se em outubro de 2015, com os mesmos entrevistados, possibilitando traçar um perfil da atividade apícola no RN nesse período. Utilizou-se a matriz PEI/ER (Pressão-Estado-Impacto/Efeito-Resposta) para criação de questionário próprio. Foram entrevistados 63 apicultores escolhidos aleatoriamente em 2012 e as mesmas entrevistas foram intempestivamente replicadas até 2015. Constatou-se que os enxames de abelhas se evadem com a seca e as temperaturas altas; a atividade melífera sofre grande influência, positiva e negativa, do meio ambiente e das políticas públicas, apesar dos esforços dedicados à apicultura na região; e que, segundo os entrevistados, a apicultura continua subdesenvolvidas principalmente devido a problemas sociais (49.9%), como a baixa participação das mulheres, o baixo nível de escolaridade, o envelhecimento dos apicultores; problemas econômicos/tecnológicos (30.9%), como falta de qualidade dos produtos apícolas, diversificação da produção, manejo adequado e falta de financiamentos; e problemas ambientais (19.2%) como a seca e as altas temperaturas. A falta de uma metodologia que evitasse os efeitos das variáveis externas ao processo produtivo ao nível de agricultura familiar levou esta atividade ao declínio.edUNITAU2016-07-28info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionAvaliado por paresapplication/pdfhttps://www.lajbm.com.br/index.php/journal/article/view/331Latin American Journal of Business Management; Vol. 7 No. 1 (2016)Latin American Journal of Business Management; Vol. 7 Núm. 1 (2016)Latin American Journal of Business Management; v. 7 n. 1 (2016)2178-4833reponame:Latin American Journal of Business Managementinstname:Universidade de Taubaté (UNITAU)instacron:UNITAUporhttps://www.lajbm.com.br/index.php/journal/article/view/331/166Copyright (c) 2016 Latin American Journal of Business Managementinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCastilhos, DaysonBergamo, Genevile CarifeFonseca, Vera Lúcia ImperatrizBelchior Filho, Valdemar2016-10-10T17:27:01Zoai:ojs2.lajbm.com.br:article/331Revistahttps://www.lajbm.com.br/index.php/journal/indexPUBhttp://www.lajbm.net/index.php/journal/oaimarcela.moraes@unitau.com.br||editor@lajbm.net2178-48332178-4833opendoar:2016-10-10T17:27:01Latin American Journal of Business Management - Universidade de Taubaté (UNITAU)false |
