Abstract: This study verified the adequacy of the article 14 of Law 11.947/2009, the types of products marketed and prices paid for vegetables for school feeding to family farmers in Paraná state. The types of products and respective prices were collected on the website of the National Fund for Education Development. In order to compare prices, we used data from the Food Supply Center of Curitiba (Paraná). As results, we obtained that more than half of municipalities (51%) still do not comply with the law, the other 49% reached 30% or more. Groups of fruits and vegetables demanded more resources. The prices paid are mostly higher than those practiced at Ceasa, and may suggest the practice of a value that allows taking into account expenses with logistics and other charges. However, there are still several products with lower prices, some of them marketed quite frequently, suggesting possible losses to the farmers with these foods. It is important to emphasize the importance of this market for rural development and, for this reason, the prices paid to family farmers must be attractive and fair, without harming the rationalization of public spending. Reaching this balance is a challenge to the executing entities, but paramount to the success of this policy.
