Abstract

This work aimed to analyze how has been the use and development of the rural microcredit program targeting Agroamigo in the state of Rio Grande do Norte and its rural areas and citizenship. Based on data provided by the Banco do Nordeste do Brasil (BNB), it has made cuts to analyze how the evolution in terms of values, distribution by sex and activity throughout the state and its territories in the period between 2005 and 2014 (first 10 years of the program). For the analysis, we used the processing of all transactions performed during the period, as well as econometric methods of dispersion diagrams and their maps and I and their Moran maps. Also admitted it in the interview with the program representative. Due to the research we concluded that the counties in Seridó and Sertão do Apodi territories better adhered to the program, as the territory Sertão Central Cabugi / Litoral Norte registered higher turnover rates over the period, in counties where there is less land concentration - with more farms more - the program has not only increased the number of operations, as well as an ever-increasing number of operations.
