Abstract

This research analyzes the Sergipe citrus industry and its institutional relations, highlighting the intervention of the state government via Revitalization Program Citrus (2003). Among the objectives we sought to make a historical overview of global and national citrus production in line with activity in the state of Sergipe, to identify the determinants of national crisis and citrus proposal to revitalize the role of institutionalism in favor of the action of the agents involved production chain in orange. The study data allowed to make a career in production, harvested area, yield and market strategies that involves the production of national and state orange. Research shows that before the recovery strategies of the government of Sergipe little changed reality of the institutional environment in order to generate employment and economic development for the citrus region of the state. Pests, increases in production costs, reduced government incentives for new patterns of industrial production of juice (which consume less amount of concentrate juice) increased consumption of juices and other drinks and fragility of articulation with institutions involved in the process (unions, associations cooperatives, industries, government agencies) make the resumption of a major product of the state´s economy has no prospects of return.
