O efeito da convenção-quadro na produção de tabaco brasileiro : uma análise do período entre os anos 1999 e 2018.

Abstract

This research deals with an analysis of tobacco production in Brazil and the Framework Convention on tobacco Control (FCTC). Given the history and role of this culture for the economy, the general objective of the study is to identify the economic implications generated by the Framework Convention on the production and exportation of Brazilian tobacco from 1999 to 2018. The research justifies This is due to the fact that tobacco culture is facing a controversial scenario, since sectors of the State and civil society indicate public health reasons to restrict consumption, while production has socioeconomic importance for some countries. For that, the descriptive-exploratory methodology is used. The literature review and documentary research will be based on scientific articles by authors investigating the topic, data and information of trade unions and organizations in the tobacco sector, such as the AFUBRA and SINDITABACO, and also, emphasis on the study of the official document of the Framework Convention based on the assumptions of Douglass North Economic Institutionalism. Given the analysis of the data, it was possible to highlight the 26% reduction in tobacco planted area after the ratification of the Framework Convention in the southern region of Brazil, which is the main producing region responsible for more than 95% of tobacco production in the country. In parallel, there was a reduction of approximately 26.6% in the volume of Brazilian tobacco exports after the ratification of the Framework Convention. In this sense, it was also possible to observe a worldwide trend of reduction in planted area and volume produced, reflecting the reduction in tobacco demand. Therefore, this research concludes that the Framework Convention, as a formal institution, has contributed to the reduction of world tobacco supply, demand and consumption.
