This study aimed at identifying the difficulties faced by the female enterprise “Candies and Canned Valley Fruits” from the Community Sun Valley II of Tangará da Serra-MT, during the phase of agro-processing and marketing, and at offering them possible alternatives. The women’s contribution to family farming has been gaining momentum due to the formation of female groups that are involved in alternative activities to increase the family income. However, there are still many difficulties regarding gender bias, access to adequate infrastructure and the product launch in the market. Nonetheless, it was possible to offer alternatives to be applied in short term which provide assistance for the members of the enterprise about planning seasonal menus, launching new product lines, recycling raw material waste, product packaging, marketing strategies and financial control.Downloads
