Produtividade e emprego na agricultura nos municípios da mesorregião do sul goiano décadas de 80 - 90

Abstract

The purpose of this dissertation is to analyze the evolution of the agricultural geometric growth rates of the municipalities in the Mesoregion of the South of Goiás, which comprises the entire South and Southwest of Goiás. The South Goiano Mesoregion is divided into: microregions of Southwest Goiás, Vale dos Rio dos Bois, Meia Ponte, Pires do Rio, Catalão and Quirinópolis. The development of this research was done, first, addressing the theoretical aspects that deal with agricultural modernization and the characterization and measurement of the municipalities that make up this Mesoregion of the South of Goiás. We present the growth of agricultural productivity in the mid-80s and 90s and some indicators on total productivity. To achieve this objective, municipalities surveyed by PAM / IBGE (Municipal Agricultural Production) from 1990 to 1998 and surveys in the Goiás Agricultural Censuses between 1985 and 1995/96 on agricultural employment were selected. Next, the methodology used in relation to the agricultural productivity indicators is presented, as well as the descriptive analyzes of the geometric growth rates and the extensive and intensive effects of different cultures. With the results obtained, it was possible to notice that some activities in these municipalities, in the mid-80s and 90s, increased agricultural planting and that the productivity of certain analyzed products showed differentiated growth and others with low levels of productivity. According to the analysis of the expansion of certain cultures, there was an extensive and intensive growth of them, in the studied period. Some considerations on agricultural employment are highlighted based on the Goiás Agricultural Censuses, between 1985 and 1995/6. Some categories of employment have decreased due to the modernization of the rural sector, while others have increased from one census to another.
