Resumo: | Brazil is home to 37 genera of palm trees that participate in the ecologicalbalance of different biomes. In the southern region there is a genus of palm tree, Butia spp., which has eight species, and is threatened with extinction. Butiá extractivism, through management that allows its rational exploration, can be an alternative to encourage its preservation. The aim of this article is to present a diagnosis of the extraction of butia plant in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, providing systematized data about this reality. The first stage of the research consisted of a survey on thenumber of properties that have areas of butia groves throughout the state, through Emater-RS. Based on these data, it was possible to define a statistically representative sample, which culminated in interviews with 105 rural producers. The results show that there are about 5,300 hectares of butiá in rural properties in the state, more than 400 thousand plants distributed in 28 thousand rural establishments. The number of families that use some product from the butiazal is more than 16 thousand. Comparing the use of butiazal products among groups of farmers according to the type of management, we found that the practice of extractivism is more widespread among producers who adopt organic management. The main obstacle to developing butiá extractivism is the lack of a processing structure; while the main advantages are the low demand for inputs and ease of handling, in the opinion of rural producers.
