This paper aims to analyze the performance of Street-level bureaucrats in the construction and implementation of public policies on Artisanal fishing in the municipality of Tramandaí/RS. These bureaucrats, called implementers, measure the relationship between citizens and the state, and can influence the implementation of public policies. The objective was to understand how these implementers influenced the operation of public policies for Artisanal fishing, which influenced their actions and discretion, and what were the consequences of these factors. The analysis involves qualitative research, with the use of primary and secondary data. It was found that the implementers had to initially know the beneficiary public and during the implementation of the programs made several adaptations to the norms and rules to meet the specificities of local Artisanal fishing. This discretion of the street level bureaucrats, that is, the decisions taken by these implementers, contributed to the reformulation of public policies in the municipality. The bureaucrats who worked more closely with the families of fishermen had a better understanding of the reality, limitations and needs of this public, contributing to the insertion of fishermen into public policies. This greater approximation between bureaucrats and fishermen influences the results of the implementation of public policy.

This article discusses the seasonality of the prices of soybeans to producers, from January 2000 to December 2016, in the state of São Paulo (SP). Considering price as the most important variable in commercialization decision of this commodity, the seasonal variation index (IVEP) of soybean marketed in state of São Paulo, Brazil was analyzed, as well as the lower and upper confidence limits (LICP and LSCP), in period of 2000 to 2016. Using time-series concepts and the ARIMA technique, the soybean price trend was analyzed during the period considered with a prices provision of that product was made for the following twelve months in 2017. The results showed that the prices of the bag of soybean varied greatly, both within the same year and over long the period studied (from 2000 to 2016). Due to the higher soybean supply in the first half of each year due to the harvest of the product, the soybean prices are lower during this period and increase during the second semester. In the period from March to May of each year, although the price practiced by the market is lower, historical prices show that the producer can sell his product at a great price, without many risks of losses. The forecast of soybean bag prices for the months of 2017, shortly after the period studied, using the ARIMA model was robust, showing a good performance, with small forecast errors.

The objective of this study was to analyze the importance of the handmade dairy agroindustry as a strategy for economic reproduction and emancipation for women farming in the municipality of Linhares, north of the State of Espírito Santo, Brazil. The qualitative research was carried out between February and May of 2016, in the municipality of Linhares, involving ten families participating in projects of the official Rural Extension. Semi-structured interviews were applied with the ten female cheese producers from the families that composed the analysis units. The results were transcribed, systematized and submitted to content analysis. The agricultural para-agricultural pluriactivity through the handmade dairy products was shown as a strategy for economic reproduction of families in the face of financial crises and contributed to increase the autonomy and self-esteem of the women interviewed. However, female financial and decision-making autonomy was limited by male domination in rural areas.

This research is characterized as a case study in a rural property of Bom Despacho, Minas Gerais. His goal was to assess economic and financial activity of the dairy company. To achieve this objective a survey was made of costs and expenses and income incurred during the year 2011. From this information it was possible to perform the calculation and analyzing financial indicators, namely, debt, profitability, profitability, liquidity and solvency. The analyzes indicated the economic and financial viability of the enterprise in question, since the company generated profit on sales, return to shareholders, increased its equity and is in a solvency. However, despite concluding that the business is profitable, the company must be aware of compliance with its obligations not to compromise your situation, since the indicators did not point gap in their levels of liquidity. Before the diagnosis, proposals were made for improvements to assist in the planning and execution of the activity.
