Diagnóstico das biofábricas comerciais implantadas no estado de Goiás

Abstract

The dissertation entitled "Diagnosis of commercial biofactories installed in the state of Goiás" has as its main objective to carry out a comprehensive survey of the biofactories present in the region, analyzing their profile, the productive segments they serve and the bioinputs they produce. The research included identifying these companies, the main challenges they face, and assessing the context in which they operate, especially in relation to the bioinputs market. To carry out the diagnosis, relevant articles and academic materials between 2010 and 2024 were reviewed, in addition to a questionnaire applied to biofactories registered with the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock (MAPA). The survey revealed that of the eight biofactories initially identified, three ceased their activities, leaving eight active. The responses obtained highlighted that most biofactories are concentrated in the southwest of Goiás, a region with strong agricultural development. The profiles of producers served by biofactories are mostly from large properties, with emphasis on soybeans, corn and sugar cane. The main bioinputs produced include a variety of microorganisms and biofertilizers, reflecting a growing demand for biological solutions in agriculture. The use of bioinputs has shown significant benefits, such as reduced use of agrochemicals, less pollution and increased productivity. The research also identified the importance of quality control and adequate facilities to produce bioinputs. The challenges faced by biofactories include the need for technological innovation and sector regulation, as well as economic factors that influence the viability of operations. Government support and training of the professionals involved were highlighted as crucial to ensuring the solidity of the sector. The data collected contributes to a deeper understanding of biofactories in Goiás, highlighting their role as pioneers in the use of bioinputs, which represent a sustainable alternative to chemical inputs. Furthermore, the research emphasizes the social relevance of the sector, which can positively impact food security and job creation in the region. In short, the study not only maps Goiás biofactories, but also points to the importance of sustainable practices in agriculture, promoting a more responsible and healthy future for agricultural production. With growing awareness of the environmental impacts of conventional inputs, bioinputs emerge as a promising solution for modern agriculture.
