SUMMARY:

The growth of the açaí consumer market has demanded greater productivity in production systems and, mainly, quality of the product and derivatives, aiming to serve a broader and more demanding consumer market. In this sense, the adoption of traceability systems is of great importance, as it contributes to quality, food safety, sustainability and compliance with current legislation, adding value and strengthening the product's image and consumer confidence. In the state of Pará, the traceability policy of the açaí production chain is implemented by the Agricultural Defense Agency of the state of Pará, through Ordinance No. 2,789/2020, which established the Vegetable Transit Guide (GTV). The objective of the work was to evaluate the process of implementing the state traceability policy in the açaí production chain in the state of Pará and answer the following research questions: (i) how the traceability policy has been implemented in the açaí production chain in the state of Pará, based on the Vegetal Transit Guide (GTV)? (ii) what are the processes, resources, actors involved and results obtained in the implementation of public policy? (iii) what are the perceptions of rural producers regarding this implementation? and (iv) what are the main challenges perceived by producers in relation to this public policy? The dissertation is structured into two results chapters. In the first chapter, Najan's (1995) 5C protocol was used, which establishes five interdependent evaluative dimensions: (i) content, (ii) context, (iii) capacity, (iv) competence and (v) clients and coalitions. The second chapter evaluates the perceptions of açaí producers in the state of Pará about the state traceability policy based on the Vegetable Transit Guide (GTV). The results of this evaluation in this initial phase of implementation offer important information for its improvement over the coming years. There is a positive perception among producers, but there are also a series of obstacles that limit the effectiveness of the policy, which is reflected in the low percentages of producers who consider it to be very good and excellent. For the next few years, greater investments must be dedicated to training, communication and transparency actions, aiming to provide greater support from producers and also social control, allowing monitoring of results with positive effects for the entire society.
