Resumo
Due to the importance of family agriculture within the
national context, the present research had as objective to evaluate
the different levels of managerial capacity among family farmers
in the municipalities of Monte Carmelo, Iraí de Minas, and
Romaria, in Minas Gerais State, Brazil. A review of literature
was accomplished, primary data from farmers were also collected,
and secondary data were obtained from Brazilian Institute of
Geography and Statistics for the target region. It was verified a
considerable heterogeneity among the producers interviewed and
the impossibility to elaborate a unified definition that would
include all types of family agriculture. Indices of managerial
capacity for agriculture and livestock activities were elaborated.
The results showed that productivity in the evaluated crops is
low as compared to the mean production level of the area. It
became evident a considerable dependence of farmers income on
dairy production, with probable influence of this dependence on
the high indexes observed for the livestock activity. It was
concluded that there is a need to find ways to increase
productivity and to search for possibilities to assist family
farmers, in what concerns the milk production/commercialization.
