Socioeconomic inclusion of family farmers from Cooperative of Producers of the Branch of Banco, Amazonas

Resumen

Despite being a state with a large number of rural producers, in Amazonas, it is common that they do not have institutional assistance in the development of their activities. Faced with this scenario, agricultural cooperatives present themselves as an opportunity to mediate socioeconomic inclusion strategies for rural communities and their farmers. The objective of this work was to promote actions to strengthen the Mixed Cooperative of the Bank’s Branch Producers - COOMPRAB, located in the municipality of Rio Preto da Eva / Amazonas. A training course, a workshop, purchase tests were carried out at the AGROUFAM Fair and participant observation. The results were systematized and the discussion took place based on a bibliographic review. The actions carried out brought technical knowledge, which is considerably scarce in rural communities in Amazonas, so that farmers could use in their work routine alternatives to improve their production, to improve the use of available resources and add value to the products sold. In addition, the actions allowed the board and the members to observe the current scenario of the cooperative’s operation, creating a panorama from which they could identify the points that need to be improved in order to achieve full functioning and the collective objectives, providing better quality of service. life to families in the community.
