What is it for?

Actions directed towards the search for economic viability of the activity, in balance with the social and environmental aspects, promoting the sustainability of the process.

By the means of theoretical-practical meetings and field visits, which aim for the technological contribution and technical interventions, the producer receives information and training for:

• Adequacy of the management of the activity, according to the rational techniques of management.
• Application of the principles of quality production.
• Stimulate the increase in productivity of latex with emphasis on quality control.
• Work the requisites of sustainable production with the purpose of increasing latex production with quality.
• Stimulate the structuring and the integration of production areas, seeking the organization of the internal production chain and the optimization of resources.
• Systemic actuation in the development of planning and production of latex, looking to reach the commercial objectives of quantity adjusted to demand; quality required by the market and correct regularity of delivery, for the satisfaction of the ones involved in the production chain.

How does it work?

The work is developed in practical-theoretical applications, making use of two main tools: Collective Service and Individual Service.

Collective Service: Group service with transfer of agricultural production technology in periodic meetings, where practical and theoretical aspects of the activity shall be developed.

Individual Service: In loco service, with periodic visits by the consultancy to the properties, for the proposal of management adjustments and solutions according to the verified problems and traced objectives.

Check the programmatic content:

Collective Service

• Production technology of the culture of Rubber Tree.
