Análise da produção agrícola no distrito de Sussundenga (1992-1999)

Abstract

This work analyzes agricultural production in the district of Sussundenga with a view to alleviating poverty and improving the living conditions of the population. Although the district has agricultural potential favorable to agricultural development, its production is essentially of subsistence, where the predominant use of unimproved technology results in low agricultural yields and productivity. Agricultural marketing difficulties and low producer purchase prices discourage agricultural production and investment, leading to subsistence agriculture. As alternatives for agricultural development, the following stand out: agro-industrial investment, obtaining higher incomes in agricultural self-employment, adopting improved technology, granting credit, securing land tenure and controlling the sustainable use of resources natural. In preparing the work, the literature review provided theoretical and conceptual bases, direct observation and interviews provided understanding and analysis of physical-geographic and socio-economic aspects related to the topic. In the analysis, description and representation of the information, statistical, descriptive and cartographic methods were also used.
