Produção de mel nas mesorregiões do estado do Piauí entre os anos de 2016 e 2020

Abstract

The appendix stands out as one of the most profitable, as it is a maintenance activity that requires an initial economic investment compared to other agricultural activities. The environmental conditions in Brazil favor the development of this activity throughout its territory. Among the Brazilian regions, the northeast has a productive potential in the world market of bee products, this must be the fact that a good part of the honey produced in the northeast territory comes from native nature, which is characterized by the low population of pesticides and residues. of antibiotics. And in this region it stands out, being among the largest producers in Brazil and is the largest producer in the Northeast. But it is not generally known how much this productive potential is exploited throughout the state. Thus, this work sought to show an overview of honey production in each of the four Piauí mesoregions. For this, data from the IBGE Automatic System (SIDRA) of honey recovery from the years 2016 to 2020 in the mesoregions of the state of Piauí were collected. From the data analyzed for the mesoregion, it can be noted the difference that exists in the production of honey in the mesoregions of the state, with highlights of the Southeast mesoregion of the state that stood out much above the regions. There was also instability of honey production in the North mesoregion during the years analyzed, which varied between prominence throughout the period. With the data obtained, it can be determined that there is much that is possible to explore the production potential of the great state of the mesoregions in the mesoregions.
