Planejamento Estratégico para sustentabilidade da piscicultura no Parque Aquícola Sucupira, Palmas-TO

Abstract

The Sucupira Aquaculture Park, located in the Lajeado reservoir in Palmas – TO, has great productive potential but faces challenges in management, infrastructure, and fish commercialization. This study analyzed the internal and external factors influencing its development and proposed strategic guidelines for its sustainability. Embedded in the research line on aquaculture resource management and sustainable development, it contributes to strengthening the regional sector, with scientific, organizational, and public policy impact. The study is based on concepts of strategic management, sustainable development, and public policies for aquaculture. The methodology included interviews with members of the Bompeixe Association and public management representatives, as well as documentary analysis. The data were organized and interpreted using the SWOT matrix, identifying strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. The main challenges identified include a lack of resources for feed, the absence of dry areas for infrastructure, and difficulties in accessing funding programs. Meanwhile, management highlighted the need for greater engagement from members and the importance of public policies to enable fish processing and commercialization. As a result, strategies such as structuring the park’s administration, securing funding through partnerships, and strengthening tourism to diversify income are proposed. The originality of the study lies in the application of the SWOT matrix to regional aquaculture, offering viable recommendations. The practical contributions involve improvements in management, local economic development, and the strengthening of public policies, impacting the organizational and societal spheres by generating employment and income. The integration between public management and members is essential to consolidate the Sucupira Aquaculture Park as a reference in sustainable aquaculture.
