Permanences and changes in the production structure of agriculture in Parana, 2006-2017

The objective of this work is to analyze the dynamics of changes in the productive structure of agriculture in the State of Paraná, based on information from the 2006 and 2017 Agricultural Censuses. Multivariate analyzes, factorial and cluster, were used to characterize temporal changes and spatial, considering twenty indicators of the modernization of agriculture associated with land use, technology and capitalization, labor and condition of the producer and establishments. The research results show significant transformations in agriculture in the State of Paraná, but still favoring the country’s traditional trends, with expansion of agriculture for export and reduction of family farming, which still absorbs the largest share of occupation in rural areas.
