The National Program to Strengthen Family Farming (Pronaf), besides being a credit policy with specific conditions for family farming, is considered a milestone in the recognition of the social category. The program has been in existence for over twenty years in all regions of the country and is present in practically all municipalities. In this sense, recognizing the importance of the program for the promotion of family agriculture, the study aims to analyze the distribution of resources of the National Program to Strengthen Family Agriculture in the Region of the Fourth Italian Immigration Colony -RS, from 1999 to 2018. Specifically, it sought to: a) present the volume of resources accessed by family farmers; and b) verify whether farmers have accessed the resources for funding or investment. The study was carried out using the inductive method, through bibliographic research and analysis of secondary data obtained through the official site of the Central Bank of Brazil. The main results indicate the concentration of resources in the municipalities of Nova Palma, Restinga Sêca and Agudo, municipalities with the highest number of family farmers. Silveira Martins and São João do Polêsine also stand out, being the municipalities with the least access to Pronaf resources. In addition, most of the credit accessed by family farmers in the region is being used for funding, following a similar behavior when compared to the national level. |
