Resumen:
The objective of this job was to characterize technologic, economic and social
profile of the planters of cotton of the semi-arid in northeast, because these product the
textile raw material in a present structure to be more two hundred years ago, showing in
the form the trinomial: cotton/cattle-breeding/production of subsistence, structure
considered "contrary at the use of innovations", by investigators of the
EMBRAPA/CNPA. The characterization of the planter of cotton has how supported the
aspects of the agricultural politics and technological (that some form don't go against
terms with the interests of the majority of the producers of the semi-arid of northeast),
together with economics and sociais effects. A research of field, for interview of sample
of rural producers was realized in the states of the Paraíba, Ceará, Rio Grande do Norte
and Pernambuco, in municipal districts considered principais producers of the cotton
arboreous and herbaceous. With given informations through of researchs, found a social,
economic and technological profile of the planter of cotton of the semi-arid and
observed he has little technique in relating to the adoption of the technology, not only for
the arboreous, but for the herbaceous, as well fact can be explaining on the model of
research adopted by CNPA that doesn't contemplate the lucrative peculiarity of the little
common producer of cotton. The profile social and economic shows a serious social
trouble because of a union of factores: the omission of the government in to form public
politics that contemplate the culture of cotton setor; the absence of financial resorts in
the life of the producers; the existent of a land structure concentrate; the fraudulent
trade, where the mains gins are middleman in the process of trade of the cotton with
seed.
