Abstract
Este trabalho assenta numa pesquisa quantitativa e qualitativa e tem como objetivos
avaliar as potencialidades das Empresas Agrícolas Empresariais no desenvolvimento da
província do Huambo e procurar fundamentos no campo teórico-prático que reforcem a
ideia da incidência no contributo que a agricultura pode dar ao crescimento e
desenvolvimento económico e também, em particular, para a diversificação da
economia da província do Huambo.
Verificou-se na revisão da literatura consultada que grande parte dos autores são
unânimes e dão ênfase ao contributo do setor agrário para o crescimento e
desenvolvimento económico. Da análise da literatura e com base na análise dos
resultados do questionário desenvolvido junto das empresas agrícolas familiares e
empresariais, os nossos resultados mostram que os estudos quantitativos, qualitativos e
descritivos são congruentes em concluir que o setor agrícola apoiado é capaz de
alavancar a economia, impulsionando outros setores, com destaque do setor industrial,
por apresentarem ambos caraterísticas similares e recíprocas em termos de dependência
Conclui-se que, face ao período em que se realiza este trabalho, caracterizado por uma
conjuntura internacional que resultou numa crise económica mundial provocada pela
baixa do preço do barril de petróleo, a diversificação da economia é uma necessidade,
precisamente para aqueles países que dependem fortemente das receitas daquela matéria
prima. Para este efeito, o setor agrário provou que pode minorar os efeitos tanto da crise
como de outras implicações resultantes da mesma.
This work is based on a quantitative and qualitative research and aims to evaluate the potential of Agricultural Firms in the development of the Huambo region and is founded in theoretical and practical issues that reinforce the idea of the contribution that agriculture can make to economic growth and development and also, in particular, to the diversification of the Huambo province's economy. It was found in the literature review that most authors are unanimous and emphasize the contribution of the agricultural sector to economic growth and development. From the literature review and based on the analysis of the results of the questionnaire developed with the agricultural families and firms, our results show that quantitative, qualitative and descriptive studies are consistent in concluding that the supported agricultural sector is able to leverage the economy, boosting other sectors, especially the industrial sector, because they work in the same direction. It is concluded that, given the period in which this work takes place, characterized by an international climate that resulted in a global economic crisis caused by the lowering of the oil price, diversification of the economy is a necessity, precisely for those countries that rely heavily on revenue from that commodity. To this end, the agricultural sector has proven that it can reduce the effects of both the crisis as other implications resulting from it.
