SOCIO-PRODUCTIVE ARRANGEMENTS OF SMALLHOLDER FARMERS IN THE PALM OIL SUPPLY CHAIN IN THE STATE OF PARÁ

21

The present article is a development of the project “Social, Environmental and Corporate Responsibility of the Palm Oil Chain in the State of Pará”, dedicated to analyzing the various socio-productive modeling of family farmers integrated into the palm oil chain in the State of Pará, Brazil. The work translates into action criteria and indicators of the “Charter of Commitment for Valuing Decent Work in the Palm Oil Chain”, voluntarily signed by Abrapalma in 2016. The document was grounded on the parameters of the International Labor Organization (ILO) and is linked to the Sustainable Development Goal 8 (SDG) defined by the United Nations (UN) – to promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all. The methodology uses bibliographic survey, case studies, and compiles field visits and training courses. With this initiative, Abrapalma intends to contribute to strengthen the inclusion of smallholder farmers into new markets and stimulate collective actions.
