Abstract

This paper aims to measure the level of innovation and learning beekeeping businesses that are part of

the Local Productive Arrangement of beekeeping in Northeast of Par and to identify the factors that

influence the level of innovation and learning of these beekeepers. An index was developed and used

to measure the level of innovation and learning. To identify the determinants, the quantile regression

model was used. The results show that the vast majority of the beekeeping companies exhibit low level

of innovation and learning, with the indicators related to the external source of information and

introduction of innovations contributed the most to the composition of the index and the other sources

of information showed the worst result. In addition, it is concluded, that the level of schooling, the

number of populated hives, participation and knowledge about a program or specific actions for the

beekeeping sector promoted by the federal government exerted positive effect on level of innovation

and learning of beekeepers in all quantiles evaluated.
