Organização logística dos feirantes da feira livre do Mercado Municipal de Araguaína/TO.

Abstract

The objective of the research is to describe the logistical activities of the Feira Livre do Mercado Municipal de Araguaína as a Local Productive Arrangement (APL), since the place is considered an event that contributes to the culture and economy of the region. Despite still being an incipient arrangement, the street market plays an important role in the development of the region, especially for small rural producers. The research method is qualitative and the methodology is deductive with field study and data collection carried out through a questionnaire. It was observed that the environment is still lacking in public policy contributions, and even though the organization has been in existence for over 30 years, there has been little innovation process; it is necessary to make investments in infrastructure and innovations to expand and generate more jobs. In addition, the agents' management of logistical activities is still very timid, with a lack of interaction with technology to manage logistical processes.
