Governmental instruments of support the investments

PROADI
The PROADI is a program instituted for the Government of a State that offers to economic incentives to practically the all the industrial companies who intends to install themselves in the State, either in the accomplishment of new investments, the magnifying of the existing units already or still as stimulaton to the reactivation of paralyzed companies. The program grants to economic incentives equivalents up to 75% (seventy and five percent) of the value of the monthly ICMS for the companies installed in Industrial Districts or the interior of the State; but, for those installed in Natal or the Great Natal, the incentive is limited in up to 60% (sixty percent), except for superior investments the twenty Real million. The PROADI can be granted by up to 10 (ten) years, being able being extending for until more 5 (five) years. The request of the PROADI must be folloied of Project of Técnico-Econômico Viability and legal documentation, beyond negative certificates. The project and the documentation must be directed to the Secretariat of Economic Development of Estado (SEDEC).

PROGÁS
Instituted, the example of the PROADI, with the objective to attract and to stimulate the implantation of new industries, beyond the magnifying of those already existing, the Program if destines to the concession of incentives under the form of tariffs differentiated to the industries that use the natural gas as power plant in its productive activity, making possible a reduction of its operational costs, using to advantage one of the main and more abundant natural wealth of the Great River of the North. The concession of the benefits of PROGÁS is after materialize the approval for the Secretariat of Economic Development of the State, of the project of economic viability directed by the interested industry.

Local Productive Arrangements

Productive arrangements are agglomerations of companies located in the same territory, who present productive specialization and keep some bond of joint, interaction, cooperation and learning between itself and with other local actors such as enterprise government, associations, financial institutions, education and research. A Local Productive Arrangement is characterized by the existence of the agglomeration of a significant number of companies who act around main a productive activity. For this, she is necessary to consider the dynamics of the territory where these companies are inserted, in view of the number of ranks of work, invoicing, market, potential of growth, diversification, among others aspects.
Therefore, the Local Productive Arrangement understands a clipping of the geographic space (part of a city, set of cities, hidrográficas basins, valleys, mountain ranges, etc.) that he possesss signals of collective identity (social, cultural, economic, politicians, ambient or historical). The objective of the Sebrae when acting in Local Productive Arrangements is to promote the competitiveness and the sustentabilidade of the micron and small businesses, stimulating local processes of development. In the RN they are worked four APL's currently: Ovinocaprinocultura, in the central region of the State; Embroidering in the region of the Seridó; Weaving in the region of the Seridó; Beekeeping in the region of Apodi.

Reached lines of Research and Results.

The lines of research of the EMPARN (Company of Agripecuária Research of the State) for the Tropical Fruticultura englobam: 1) fitossanidade; 2) nutrition and fertilization; 3) irrigation; 4) door-enxertos attainment; 5) production of changes; e, 6) espaçamento, conduction and trims. These studies aim at to define sustainable systems of production for tropical fruteiras, with emphasis in the improvement of the quality of the fruits and in the increase of productivity, in the reduction of production costs, in the handling integrated of plagues, harmful illnesses and plants; in the development of suitable varieties to ecosystems of the RN; e in the development of technology of seeds and changes.

In the culture of the cantaloups, the research developed in the Valley of the Açu, aiming at the otimização of the fertilization, had resulted in significant productive and qualitative performance - reduction of the number of fruits with defects, beyond the beneficial influence on the citric percentage of acid, solid soluble, pH and texture of the fruits - for the varieties Skin of Frog, Gold Mine and Orange Flesh. The cajucultura has great importance in the generation of job and income, notadamente in the period of the period between harvests of the dry land cultures. However, low the productivity of the orchards generates great economic losses for the producers. To solve this problem, the EMPARN comes introducing the Precocious Dwarfed cajueiro, through the substitution of pantry of the unproductive cajueiros and the introduction of new areas with enxertadas changes. On the other hand, in the research, the EMPARN studies the exploitation of the grain stalk of the cashew in the animal feeding, by means of protéico enrichment.

The average production of coconut in the only 40 RN is of fruits/plants/year. Despite this, the RN, that has a planted area of 35.000 ha, participates with 12% of the production of coconut of Brazil. Low the productivity elapses: of the deficiency of the natural fertility of ground; of little productive the genetic material; of the inadequate handling of the culture; e of the existence of plagues and illnesses. The works of research developed by the EMPARN are: nitrogenada and potássica fertilization in fertirrigação of the coconut palm; election and evaluation to cultivate and hybrids; use of the beekeeping in the increase of the productivity; integrated handling of plagues in irrigated areas; e evaluation of systems of production of coconut joined with ovines. On the other hand, the EMPARN comes increasing the production of seeds and changes of Green and Hybrid Dwarfed coconut palm of the Jiqui.

It enters the other works of research, developed for the EMPARN, are distinguished: production of tropical frutícolas changes in family agriculture; studies of alternative the bioecologys aspects and of control of the white fly in several agroecossistemas; introduction and evaluation to cultivate and watermelon hybrids; introduction and election of genotypes of acerola; active bank of germoplasma of tropical fructiferous; effect of the grafts combinations of door in variety of hose pantries and fruitful vegetative reproduction "in vitro" of tropical (banana, pineapple, mangaba, cajá and date).
