Offering products used in human and animal food is an excellent raw material for the industry, due to the quantity and quality of accumulated reserves in its grains. Taking into account its importance, both for the country and the state, as well as for the municipality. A technical study on the production of this grain is needed in one of the largest producing municipalities in the state of Sergipe.
