Resumen
This work is part of the research group studying agribusiness chains, by characterizing agroindustrial
chain of cashew nuts in Rio Grande do Norte, with special emphasis on Sertão de
Apodi Citizenship Territory, showing their different flows and linkages and analyzes
generating jobs and income in the production of this good, from the experience of COOPAPI,
using as a methodology for analyzing the input-output matrix. And this is justified by the fact
that Brazil is in the context as the world's fifth largest producer of cashew nuts and the
production of this product focus in the Northeast, especially the Rio Grande do Norte, which
is the second largest producer of region, behind only the state of Ceará, which is the largest
producer in the country. Moreover, in recent years the state has increased its insertion in
international markets this product, particularly the Mossoró-Assu Territory, which constitutes
the largest producer in the state, particularly the municipality of Serra do Mel, which has an
arrangement different yield, based on the model of integrated rural development, embodied in
family farming. Nevertheless, the Sertão de Apodi Citizenship appear as the fourth among the
Citizenship territories of Rio Grande do Norte in the ranking of the production of cashew
nuts, but the prevailing model of Cooperatives in the Territory, based on the Solidarity
Economy, i,e, different from the old cooperative, which is based on the precepts as patronage,
with cooperative owners, favor, etc.., encourages scientific research. In this, after a careful
analysis of data from field research, it was noticed that among the links in the chain, the
production link is what generates the most jobs, while the processing link commands to
generate income, but a portion meaningful occupations and income are generated outside the
territory, especially out of state RN, denouncing the gap in supply of some specific demands
within the chain
