Avaliação da implementação da política estadual de rastreabilidade na cadeia produtiva do açaí no estado do Pará

Abstract

This article evaluates the implementation of the state policy for traceability in the açaí production chain in the state of Pará, operated by the Agricultural Defense Agency of the state of Pará, from 2021 to 2023, through Ordinance No. 2.789/2020, which institutes the Plant Transit Guide (GTV). The 5C Protocol by Najan (1995) was used, which establishes five interdependent evaluation dimensions: content, context, capacity, competence, and clients and coalitions. The work was developed based on documentary research, involving legislation, institutional reports, and data from Adepará's control systems. The capacity and commitment dimensions highlighted limitations related to the scarcity of human resources and planning, evidencing the need for greater institutional support to ensure the effectiveness of the policy. The dimensions of content, context, customers and coalitions highlighted the importance of promoting social inclusion, greater transparency, access to technologies and technical training, which are essential factors for increasing the adherence of actors in the production chain to the traceability policy. Despite these limitations, the initial results of the implementation of the Plant Transit Guide (GTV) for açaí were positive, with progress in the registration of production units, expansion of coverage of the target audience and an increase in the issuance of GTVs. The results presented provide support for Adepará and other actors involved in this production chain, proving to be a useful tool in evaluating the implementation of public policies.
