Abstract

The objective of this research was to evaluate the perception of family farmers from the Pedra d´água Community and Curralinho district, both located in the rural area of Caturité - PB, about the importance of umbuzeiro extraction. Initially there were visits in the community in order to expose the idea and carry out. The research was conducted during the period from March 2016 to May 2016. Structured questionnaires, previously prepared with the purpose of involving and extracting as much information as possible from the whole Community, were applied. With the data in hand, figures were made that show the perception of cooperative farmers about the extraction of the umbu. Incomplete first degree (47%), followed by complete high school (40%). Regarding the process of extraction of umbu by Community producers, several uses can be indicated, the main destinations being pulp industry (34%), family consumption (33%), feed (19%) and direct selling. (14%). Regarding the sale, when there was a sale, the price of the 3.0 kg bag varied between R $ 2.00 and R $ 2.50, and 62% of the consulted producers said they sell for the price of R $ 2, 00, while 31% sell at $ 2.50 and 7% sell over $ 2.50. Of the producers who collect umbu, 100% have another activity to supplement their income, among them: agriculture (85%), livestock (85%), handicrafts (7.5%) and others (7.5%).
