Abstract

The objective of the present study was to characterize the trade of goats and sheep products in the municipality of Pesqueira - PE with the use of mobile applications. The research was conducted through interviews with owners of commercial establishments in the municipality of Pesqueira-PE, carried out between January and February 2019, with the help of the application Zooquestions, which contains questionnaires related to the marketing of products and byproducts from small ruminants. The collected data were transferred to an Excel spreadsheet, were organized by means of mathematical and comparative constructions, in order to obtain the results. It was observed that only six districts of the municipality presented commercialization of products and by-products of goats and sheep. Among the products, milk, cheese, curd, meat, skin and viscera were found, most of them were informal commercialization, without complying with current legislation, where 93,75% of the slaughter was clandestine and 100% of meat were stored in an "in natura" way. The skins were marketed by producers and traders, the skin being clean, clean and salty without the criteria for purchase. Of the milk, 100% was commercialized in an "in natura" way, also emphasizing informal commerce. The cheese and curd sold were handmade, made from products and by-products mostly in the backyards of the producers' houses. In this context, it can be seen that the trade in goats and sheep products is significant and well distributed in the municipality of Pesqueira-PE, but has not yet reached the level of potentiality it presents, mainly due to informality.
