Gestão administrativa no processo de certificação de hortaliças na agricultura familiar.

Abstract

In view of the importance given to human health when it comes to the use of agrochemicals, this article aims to provide the family farmer with the process of certification of vegetables from the perspective of the administrative manager. The choice for the product under study (vegetables) was due to the fact that it is one of the activities most practiced by family agriculture. In order to reach the objective, this article used bibliographical research in scientific articles and websites that provide official data through censuses such as the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE). From the data collected, it was possible to perceive and quantify the number of establishments that use pesticides throughout the state of Paraíba and specifically in the municipality of Pombal-PB. In addition, this paper described the importance of the administrative manager throughout the certification process. It was concluded that the presence of an administrator in charge of certification of agricultural products in companies in the training phase, also in agricultural areas or in any other sector that has the purpose of obtaining a certificate (seal), can shorten the path and provide the success of the process.
