Abstract

The objective of this study was to map three permanent crops (citrus, palm oil, and black pepper) in São Miguel do Guamá, Pará State, Brazil, and characterize their rural property profiles. Characterization was performed by visual interpretation of Maxar images of <1 m spatial resolution from Google Earth and overlaying them with the Cadastro Ambiental Rural (CAR), the Brazilian rural environmental register. We grouped the rural properties by size class according to the municipal fiscal module (FM), which is 55 ha. Private properties were classified as follows: small, up to 1 FM; medium, from 1 to 5 FM; and large, properties larger than 5 MF. The 2211 ha mapped region showed that palm oil (72%, 1595 ha) was predominant, followed by black pepper (14%, 317 ha), and citrus (14%, 298 ha). Citrus and black pepper were predominant in the small and medium properties, whereas palm oil was predominant in the large properties. According to environmental laws, most rural properties (76%) had environmental liabilities in permanent environmental preservation areas (Áreas de Preservação Permanente–APP). A fraction of plated area of Citrus (28%) and black pepper (31%) were in properties without CAR. Only palm oil cultivations were 100% in properties registered in the CAR system. These results help to better understand the spatial distribution of the mapped agricultural crops in the study area, the dimensioning of the local and regional economy and environment, and the development of public policies to assist family agriculture farmers in the region in accessing rural credits.
