Gestão na educação profissional agrícola: pesquisa do arranjo produtivo local (APL) da banana orgânica para a implantação em Itaguaí-RJ

Abstract

The implementation of environmental standards recommended by the organic agriculture, in market conditions, trigger innovations that reduce total oscustos (production and transaction) of the product organic bananas and increase their value. Increasing the productivity of resources (raw material, labour- intensive, energy) due to the introduction of innovations, promote the competitiveness of organic banana producers. The creation of APL's organic banana generate more income and employment in producing regions in the State of Rio de Janeiro, the case of the City of Itaguaí, object of study. This is because the development of techniques of organic agriculture for the cultivation of bananas will allow aggregation of value and its ownership by the producer as well as the development of production on a larger scale. Moreover, the establishment of institutional mechanisms for coordination reduce costs or indirect costs of transaction, increasing economic efficiency and social equity. The APL of organic bananas probably generate better socio - economic local and regional sustainable because of the coordination mechanisms based on an attribute of quality or standard of quality, which provide the structure. The approach of APL's Organic Banana used in this study is identified with the concept of clustering.
