Análise da contribuição do PRONAF para geração de renda no município de Nossa Senhora da Glória/ SE

Abstract

The present study aimed to analyze the contribution of the National Program for Strengthening Family Agriculture (PRONAF) to income generation among family farmers in the municipality of Nossa Senhora da Glória, state of Sergipe (SE), from 2014 to 2024. The research adopted a qualitative and quantitative approach, with a descriptive nature, based on data obtained from reports of the Banco do Nordeste do Brasil (BNB). The results showed that the PRONAF B Semiárido and PRONAF Comum credit lines were the most accessed. The analyzed data indicate that PRONAF directly contributed to maintaining farmers’ income, especially during the pandemic period, when there was an increase in both the number of contracts and the amounts disbursed. In this context, it is evident that PRONAF plays a fundamental role in the advancement of family farming and in improving producers’ quality of life, particularly in the livestock sector, which was the most utilized by farmers. However, challenges remain in achieving a more equitable and comprehensive performance.
