Abstract

This paper studies the self-perception of the socioeconomic reality of the productive process of small rural producers in a metropolitan region of Brazil. Small food production accounts for a significant portion in the country. The objective of this work is to investigate the opportunities for advances in small production and the institutional, environmental and economic obstacles that hinder this process. The hypothesis is that the failure of producers is related to regulatory complexity and the difficulty of adapting to legal regulations. The adopted methodology was documentary and qualitative analysis (online research). The results confirm the hypothesis as in the view of small producers, regulatory complexity impairs the performance of their enterprises. The work also identified an unexpected complaint: difficulties in selling production in the most developed region of the country. It is concluded that the productive activity of small producers faces difficulties both because of the entangling and overlapping divergent laws and because of the production flow infrastructure, which producers point out by as being inadequate.
