Abstract:

The vegetable oils can be found normally seed of the plants and occasionally in the flesh of fruit. Because of the wide variety of vegetable oils and high productivity with soybeans, mamona, oil palm, cotton, gentle pinion among others, the Amazon shows great opening for a new alternative energy regarding the replacement of fossil diesel from biofuel, on the other hand, the diesel produced from vegetable oils. In addition to be one of the ways to enhance the "forest standing" with the extraction of vegetable oil, native fruits species to generate energy and products of higher added value. Its production in the northern region of the country, can serve the market for biofuels, bioelectricity and vegetable oils. The study was carried out in 4 rural communities located in the city of Moju, State of Pará. Where were analyzed a universe of 185 smallholder, distributed in lots ranging from 12ha to 6ha, with a total area of 1,720 ha with cultivation of Palm oils with agreements between the parties involved (smallholder and agribusiness) for the purchase and sale, with the first Projects implemented in the year 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2006. The first production from November 2005 meant an average income exceeding the expectations of smallholder and the group agropalma, and that from the 7th year should provide a net income of $ 24000.00 / family / year. This experience has proved be valuable to the understanding of the integration of smallholder in the chain of biodiesel in Pará, needing to be improved with the use of new alternative systems of production that can in fact ensure not only economic gains, but also the social inclusion of these workers men and workers women in agriculture and functional characteristics and performance of bio-fuels industries.
