Abstract

Small rural properties are common in regions of the interior of the state of Minas Gerais, making the production of animals in a rustic system, such as the raising of swine in an extensive or semi-extensive system, expressive. The objective was to evaluate the profile of producers and consumers of free-range swine in the Alto São Francisco Region - MG. The research was carried out in the municipality of Bambuí - MG, located in the center-west of Minas Gerais. Participate in the survey 8 producers from the Bambuí region 20 Bambui residents informed at the free fair that they accept to participate in the. It was used with 21 questions. The analysis was carried out with the help of Excel® spreadsheets in Microsoft Office Excel 19. The results show the dissemination of products through marketing is the main factor that influences electronic data on the growth of the activity. The analysis of data obtained through the producers can affirm that dissemination and structuring of the swine sector are necessary. This procedure will enable better production and commercial rates in alternative systems. There are possibilities for trade in products from country systems to be marketed and to expand further. However, the lack of guidance from government agencies and specific information hinders this process of growth and structuring of the sector. They indicate that the pork purchased is acquired through the local fair, where the price and origin of the products are the most relevant factors at the time of purchase.
