Summary: | ABSTRACT The Brazilian semi-arid region is a space with very high levels of economic and social inequality. Thus, the study aimed to carry out an economic-social analysis of family-based irrigated production systems, considering financing scenarios and associated with a level of social reproduction. Through structured questionnaires, a detailed survey of information was carried out on family-based irrigated production systems in monoculture and polyculture, representative of local conditions, allowing the analysis of the added value and the farmer's income for the conditions with and without financing in the Pronaf Mais Alimento line of credit. Family-based irrigated production systems in the semi-arid region are severely limited in terms of their economic and social sustainability in a scenario without the support of rural credit. The polyculture production system represents an economically efficient production alternative when associated with the financing scenario. The level of social reproduction for production systems with financing, with a view to economic sustainability, can be obtained with areas of cultivation that represent less than half of those in systems without financing. It is noteworthy that each production system has unique peculiarities, so this study cannot be generalized, but the calculation strategy can be applied and adapted to other properties and regions.
RESUMO O semiárido brasileiro é um espaço sob altíssimos níveis de desigualdade econômica e social. Dessa forma, o estudo objetivou analisar os sistemas de produção irrigados de base familiar em aquífero aluvial, considerando cenários com e sem financiamento do Pronaf Mais Alimento e associados a um nível de reprodução social no semiárido brasileiro. Por meio de questionários estruturados, realizou-se um levantamento minucioso de informações de sistemas de produção irrigados de base familiar em monocultivo e policultivo representativos das condições locais, permitindo analisar o valor agregado e a renda do agricultor para as condições com e sem financiamento na linha de crédito do Pronaf Mais Alimento. Os sistemas de produção irrigados de base familiar no semiárido sofrem forte limitação quanto à sua sustentabilidade econômica e social em um cenário sem o apoio do crédito rural. O sistema de produção em policultivo representa uma alternativa produtiva economicamente eficiente quando associado ao cenário do financiamento. O nível de reprodução social para os sistemas de produção co |
