Abstract(s)
A castanha foi já conhecida como o “petróleo de Trás-os-Montes”, tal a sua
importância para a economia regional. Atualmente, este fruto debate-se
com vários desafios (e.g., alterações climáticas, doenças e pragas, e
evolução demográfica e dos mercados) que ameaçam o seu futuro. Neste
contexto, esta comunicação visa contribuir para a sustentabilidade da
produção nacional de castanha. Para tal, analisam-se as estatísticas anuais
(2006-2016) do mercado nacional de castanha, complementadas por outras
fontes primárias e secundárias, por forma a estabelecer correlações para
identificar constrangimentos e potencialidades da fileira. Os resultados
mostram um acréscimo global da superfície de souto embora aliado a uma
queda da produtividade, dificultando a capacidade de abastecimento do
mercado nacional. Os mercados de produção exibem uma tendência global
de acréscimo do preço, com exceção para a variedade Longal, em Trás-os-
Montes. As dificuldades ao nível da produção são agravadas com problemas
na comercialização, nomeadamente a homogeneidade reduzida dos lotes, a
predominância de circuitos de comercialização longos, o elevado peso do
mercado paralelo, o individualismo e falta de coesão entre os diferentes elos
da cadeia de valor e a concorrência desleal da castanha originária de países
extracomunitários, sujeita a normas legais menos restritivas.
The chestnut was known as the "oil of Trás-os-Montes", such as its importance for the regional economy. Today this fruit faces a number of challenges (e.g., climate change, diseases and pests, and demographic and 42 market developments) that threaten its future. In this context, this work aims to contribute to the sustainability of the national production of chestnuts. To that end, the annual national market statistics (2006-2016) are analyzed, complemented by other primary and secondary sources, in order to establish correlations to identify constraints and potentialities of the industry. The results show a global increase in the surface area, coupled with a fall in productivity, making it difficult to supply the domestic market. Production markets exhibit an overall price increase trend, with the exception for the Longal variety in Trás-os-Montes market. Difficulties in production are aggravated by marketing problems, such as the reduced homogeneity of the fruit sold, the predominance of long marketing channels, the importance of the parallel market, the individualism and lack of cohesion between the different links in the value chain and the unfair competition from chestnut produced in non-Community countries, subject to less restrictive legal rules.
