Resumo
Visando à manutenção de destaque da cafeicultura sul-mineira no cenário nacional, o estado de Minas Gerais, por intermédio de suas instituições públicas, criou um programa de desenvolvimento regional para atender aos principais problemas referentes à cafeicultura regional. Com essa finalidade, foi implantado o “Circuito Sul-Mineiro de Cafeicultura”, na busca dos seguintes objetivos: melhorar a qualidade do café, manter e criar novos empregos, aumentar a produtividade, reduzir os custos de produção e, por conseqüência, melhorar a renda dos cafeicultores. Entretanto, apesar da importância desse programa como subsídio para a solução de problemas referentes à cafeicultura da região sul e sudoeste do estado de Minas Gerais, ele ainda não foi avaliado. Portanto, conduziu-se este trabalho com o objetivo de avaliar o Circuito Sul- Mineiro de Cafeicultura, considerando-se uma abordagem metodológica orientada por diferentes métodos de pesquisa, analisando-se os objetivos declarados pelo programa e a sua efetividade quanto aos resultados alcançados. Com esta pesquisa, evidenciou-se que a combinação de métodos quantitativos e qualitativos demonstrou ser uma abordagem adequada e complementar para extrair dados e avaliar o programa sob foco. Também verificaram-se evidências de que os objetivos declarados pelo programa foram parcialmente atingidos, baseando-se nas percepções dos cafeicultores que são os usuários diretos do programa.
Aiming at the maintenance of the prominence of the South Minas coffee culture in the national scenario, the state of Minas Gerais, by means of its public institutions, has created a regional development program to meet the main problems concerning regional coffee production. With that purpose, the Southern Minas Ambit of Coffee culture was established, in search of the following objectives: to improve the quality of coffee, keep and create new employments, increase yield, reduce production costs and, as a consequence, improve the coffee farmers’ income. Nevertheless, in spite of the importance of such program as a subside for the solution of the problems concerning to coffee production of the Southern and Southeastern regions of the state of Minas Gerais, it has not, as of yet, been evaluated. Therefore, this work was conducted with a view to evaluating the Southern Minas Ambit of Coffee Culture, by taking into account a methodological approach oriented by different research methods as to the results achieved. By this research, it was stressed that the combination of quantitative and qualitative methods proved to be an adequate and complementary approach to extract data and evaluate the program under focus. Also verified were evidences that the objectives stated by the Program were partially achieved, based on the perceptions of coffee farmers, they who are the direct users of the Program.
