Programa Nacional de Crédito Fundiário (PNCF): perspectivas para a agricultura familiar no Estado do Rio de Janeiro.

Abstract

The main objective of this work was to study, evaluate and offer suggestions for improvement to the procedures used to deal with the proposals for the financing of the acquisition of rural property, with funds from the Land Fund and Agrarian Reform in the state of Rio de Janeiro. It was tried to raise the procedures for the processing of proposals aimed at granting financing; verify the methodology adopted by the State Technical Unit (UTE) in the financing proposals; describe the processing of proposals in the UTE and propose alternatives to accelerate the flow of proposals to Banco da Terra. In order to do so, we sought a theoretical basis that allowed us to delineate fundamental questions about family agriculture in Brazil, socio-environmental sustainability and agroecology, understanding that these issues constitute the background for the discussion of public policies, especially the National Program of Land Credit - PNCF, and its operation in Rio de Janeiro state. The qualitative methodology was adopted on a participatory basis, since it is the one that best allows both the knowledge of the problem and the perception of the different actors that interact in the universe researched. From the analysis carried out, it is possible to detect several problems in the flow of proposals, and to indicate measures that can facilitate the agility of these flows, in addition to the necessary continuous training of the different individuals who work in the instances involved in the Program.
