| Summary: | Family farming plays a huge socioeconomic role, contributing to the generation of employment,
redistribution of income, food safety of the country and the construction of sustainable development. Given
this relevance, this study aims to identify the determinants of the family farming competitiveness in the 188
Northeastern micro regions and to measure a competitive performance index of the family farming (IDAF) in
such microregions. In order to accomplish these proposed goals, the multivariate statistics methods of factor
analysis. Data from the Agriculture & Livestock Farming Census (2006), published on the website of the
Brazilian Geography and Statistics Institute (IBGE), have been used. The results indicate that the majority of
the Northeastern microregions exhibited low level of competitive performance of family farming, taking the
established parameters into consideration. |
