Description
Summary:The marketing agricultural is one of the most complex activities among those that involve the system of agriculture, since it is the moment when the production assumes the condition of merchandise. In this occasion, the present work analyze in an empirical-analytical way, the productive chain and the commercialization of agricultural products by marketers in Itabaiana/SE. This work results from the monitoring of the specificities existing in the production chain and in the agricultural commercialization, in the middle of the function and the structure present within the defined space, verifying the public policies and the social actors that promote the agricultural market. Currently the Itabaiana fair is the largest commercial and cultural cluster in the state of Sergipe, whose action is felt on the local population and other surrounding municipalities and even on Bahia municipalities. This is structured with 1,200 stalls that market the most varied products, with about 55% of the total being used in agricultural marketing. Added to this is the fact that the merchant is an itinerant, working in other municipalities in Sergipe and even in Bahia. Thus, in Itabaiana, the agricultural marketing process stems from the integration of the primary economy to external needs for agricultural products.
