Abstract
Within the scenario of regional integration, including the specific agricultural and agribusiness integration question, the dominant criteria may be grasped by the notions of "competitiveness" and "efficiency". The defense of the "inefficient" is considered illegitimate, sector mobilizations aiming protection are difficult, and the slogan is "reconversion",a remedy for the non-competitive sectors. Following the post-GATT regulation spirit, support measures are based upon fixed payments, dissociated from production, and do not interfere on price mechanisms. The question that the author rises and seeks to answer is whether there are any the chances for family production in this scenario.
