SUMMARY:

From the cassava root, the following are produced: dry, water and mixed flours; the gum or starch; the tucupi; and tapioca flour. However, many are the problems faced in its manufacture, the main ones: the precarious installations of the traditional “flour houses” and the lack of standardization of the product. Although rural producers have the practical and cultural knowledge of the manufacture of cassava flour, most are unaware of or do not take into account some precautions that increase yields and improve the quality of the product. Therefore, it is necessary to warn about the guarantee of the hygienic and sanitary quality of this product, applying the basic concepts of Good Manufacturing Practices. The present study aims to analyze the socioeconomic profile and sustainability of the cassava flour production units, in addition to verifying their adequacy to the current legislation on ADEPARÁ's artisanal products. The area studied will be in the Bragantina region of the State of Pará, comprising the municipalities: Augusto Correa, Bragança, Santa Luzia do Pará, Tracuateua and Viseu. Information will be collected, via an on-site questionnaire, from the records of the Agricultural Defense Agency of the State of Pará (ADEPARÁ), at the Mixed Cooperative of Family Farmers of Caetés (Coomac) and at the local offices of the Technical Assistance and Rural Extension Company of the State of Pará (EMATER), on the number of flour production units. Data will be tabulated, quantified and presented in graphs for better visualization and analysis. The assessment of the applicability of current legislation will be analyzed, being confronted according to the results obtained. The location of the production units will be plotted on a map of the state of Pará, for better visualization and identification of the area. It is hoped that the results of this research can increase the adequacy level of flour production units and expand market and income opportunities for thousands of families.
