difficulties of local population and the climatic adversities as well. This study has the objective to identify the profile, management
practices and the environmental management of agro-industries in Sergipe semi-arid region. Its data were collected both from

non-probabilistic sampling criteria. As the main results of the study, it can be highlighted that the majority of these industries were
of micro and small size and most were recently created, with predominance of manioc and diary products. In relation to management
