Análise da causa raiz: utilização do diagrama de Ishikawa e Método dos 5 Porquês para identificação das causas da baixa produtividade em uma cacauicultura

Abstract

The cocoa market in Brazil is of great importance for the country's economic development. Today, Brazil is the fifth largest cocoa producer in the world, with Pará being the second largest producer in the country, behind only the state of Bahia, it is still noticeable that these figures could be better in some municipalities of the state of Para, but often because of the lack of incentives and even knowledge, satisfactory goals are not always achieved. This work aimed to identify the root causes of the problem of low productivity in a cocoa crop located in the Nova Jutaí community, Breu Branco-PA, in order to analyze the causes and propose intervention measures to improve the level of productivity. The method used was the data collection through Brainstormings with farmers in the community, with the data obtained it was possible to draw up a cause and effect diagram, where, according to the authors, the most urgent cause is the lack of knowledge of farmers with regard to management in a correct manner, an analysis of the method of the 5 Porques was also carried out, in which the root cause was the lack of incentive for cacauculture in the community. Intervention measures were proposed, among them the training of farmers for the correct management.
