RESUMO

The objective of this study was to analyze the influence of PRONAF - National Program of Strengthening of Familiar Agriculture on the agricultural pointers: production, planted area and productivity of subsistence farms benefited for the Program in the Ceara State, during the period of 1999 to 2005. The research applied tabulate and graphical analyses to study the behavior of the variables and used a model of regression on panel data. The results registered respectively that Ceara State is in the fourth and eighth national position in relation to the number of contracts and to the sum received from PRONAF. The most benefited subsistence farms by the Program were: cotton, rice, sugar cane, beans, cassava and corn. A comparison with others not benefited farms: banana, chestnut and mamona disclosed that despite the benefit, PRONAFâs benefited farms have got an inferior performance to the not benefited ones in relation to the analyzed agricultural pointers. The analysis of the relation between the sum of PRONAFâs financing and the agricultural pointers pointed that, for most of the farms, the Program had a negative effect, even a very small one, on the production, planted area and productivity. We concluded that PRONAFâs influence in the performance of the agricultural pointers of the subsistence farms is very small and negative in most cases.
