Abstract: | The “National Program for Production and Use of Biodiesel in Brazil” (PNPB) in Brazil was formulated with the
objective of promoting the rural development, especially in the Northeast and semiarid region and impacting
positively on the environmental issue. Therefore, the aim of this study is analyzing the scenario of the inclusion of
family farming and the biodiesel market in the Northeast and in Bahia, as well as highlighting the main obstacles of
this biofuel in areas covered by the study. This work is characterized as qualitative and exploratory, whose
technical procedures adopted were the bibliographic research and the fieldwork. The research indicated that what
was idealized for the biodiesel market in the northeast and in Bahia does not happen as planned. In addition,
besides the economic and environmental justification for the introduction of biodiesel into the Brazilian energy
matrix, the social issue with poverty reduction in marginal areas of the country has been much valued by the
program. However, the PNPB has failed in the Northeast region of Brazil, despite government efforts. As such, it
was verified the existence of several barriers that have impacted and remain obstructing the biodiesel market in the
region and in the researched State. |
