Sistematização e Transporte do Pescado para o Processamento e Abastecimento Industrial no Alto Solimões

Abstract

This paper systematically and analytically addresses the fish trade in the Upper Solimões region, in the state of Amazonas. The research followed the routine of local fishermen, who rely on fishing for subsistence, highlighting the difficulties they face, such as the lack of incentives for fish trade and the smuggling of fish to foreign countries. The need for fish warehouses for processing and distribution of a quality product was noted, emphasizing that the municipality of Tabatinga already has a warehouse, but it is not operational. The research also highlighted the presence of refrigerators and floating warehouses along the route, which serve to store production. Data collected in interviews demonstrated the commercial dynamics in the triple border area and the environmental and fiscal impacts resulting from the lack of inspection.
