Mapeamento de três culturas permanentes e avaliação do perfil das propriedades rurais no município de São Miguel Pa: relatório técnico 01/2025.

Abstract

The growing demand for food has made land use and occupation very dynamic in the landscape. In this study, we aimed to use high-resolution satellite images to map three permanent crops (citrus, palm oil and black pepper) in the municipality of São Miguel do Guamá and assess the profile of the producing properties based on information from the fiscal module (MF) in the Rural Environmental Registry (CAR). As a result, we identified 101 rural properties producing citrus, 115 black pepper and 61 oil palm. In terms of area, we mapped 2,077 ha for these three crops, with oil palm predominating (70.4%), followed by black pepper (15.3%) and citrus (14.3%). Of these, small and medium-sized properties account for the highest percentage of citrus production with 64.3% and black pepper with 50.5%. Oil palm production is mainly found on large properties (> 5 MF) with 71.2%. For areas without CAR registrations, 10% of the total production area is not in compliance with current legislation, with the highest percentage in black pepper, followed by citrus. Oil palm is fully included in the CAR records. In addition, we identified an area of 1,076.3 ha with some record of environmental liabilities in environmental preservation areas (APPs) in 212 of the 277 producer properties mapped. The mapping carried out here and the results obtained can have various applications for the strategic planning of the productive sector as well as subsidizing public policies for family farming in the region.
