This work deals with the babassu coconut and Tobasa, with an emphasis on the
impacts on the Folha Grossa village. Babassu coconut extraction for a long time was
carried out by coconut breakers who provided sustenance for their families. Over the
years, with industrialization and deforestation, the breakers lost space, some managed
to give new meaning to their work, others abandoned this activity, but They have family
members who work in similar sectors, such as the industrialization of the babassu
coconut, with the aim of using its oil and shell as charcoal, among other purposes. The
general objective of the research is to highlight the general impacts of Tobasa on the
Folha Grossa village, with specific objectives also including the presentation of the
company's history, presentation of the Folha Grossa village, conceptualization of the
babaçu coconut, impacts of Tobasa in general on the public -target. The work was
structured into topics to facilitate the distribution of content, after the methodology, the
theoretical framework, development and discussions, conclusion and references, and
other data in annexes were exposed, which bring the necessary conclusion to this
research, but do not intend to exhaust the researched topic. The scientific methodology
served as the basis for the approach used in this research, which used the qualitative
method as a way to approach the problem. The approach to the objects under study
was exploratory, with field research being carried out. At the end of the research, it
was concluded that the experiences of the interviewees shed light on the challenges
they encountered in ensuring family support. Many of them started breaking coconuts
and selling olive oil at a young age, which interfered with their education and ended up
leading them to abandon their studies to work in the fields, carry out domestic tasks
and support their families.
