Abstract: This article aims to analyze the productive chains of native fruits of Cerrado with a view to their contribution to the increase of income of the agroextractive populations and to the local rural development. From the methodological procedures, field research was carried out in the South Maranhão region and in the Urucuia River Valley, in Minas Gerais. For a better understanding of the organization and functioning of the production chains, 40 people were interviewed, including agroextractivists, union representatives and cooperatives. Observations were also made at meetings, fairs and visits to rural properties betweenthe years of 2017 and 2019. The main productive chains identified were baru, pequi, bacuriand cajá, selected for having their own production and commercialization dynamics, with great relevance for local economy of the examined regions. By analyzing the production chain of non-timber forest products (NTFPs), the potential of different native fruits of the Cerrado from regions of Maranhão and Minas Gerais was verified, proving, through the results obtained, the relevance of the production chains, realizing that the more organized and structured the chain, the greater the benefits to agroextractivists, positively influencing the quality of life of this segment.
