Abstract

Municipal fairs and markets in The North of Minas Gerais State are places where cultural relations are manifested. There is an intermingle between urban and rural through marketed products and the contact between farmers and urban population. For women of family farming from the municipalities of Montes Claros(MG) and Bocaiúva (MG), the trade in these markets not only allows financial gain, but it also promotes socialization of their knowledge and life quality. Most women farmers participating in the fair reported being satisfied with the marketing of their products in these areas and that they do not change this activity for a job with a formal contract in the city. Thus, this study aims to investigate the access of rural women to markets and fairs as a way of building their social identity.
