Abstract

Goat production is one of the most adjusted activities to semi-arid zones. In Pernambuco, it is of great economic importance, as an alternative of supply for meat, skin, milk and sub-products. Meat, milk and pelt production and the total value of production and its participation in job generation are estimated. The national and international markets are analyzed. Several bottlenecks to an expansion of the supply chain are highlighted such as inadequate handling, sanitary problems, infrastructure and technology limitations. Under improved handling it is sustainable from an economic, social and environmental point of view for small and medium size producers. The market for meat is expanding, nationally and internationally. The market for pelts is also in expansion, again with good perspectives for the internal market and for exports.
