VAZ PEREIRA, Dácia J. C. J  y  LEYVA GALAN, Ángel. The cultivation of corn (Zea mays L.) inside of the agrarian sector of Huambo-Angola. Part I. Decisive indicators toward sustainability. cultrop [online]. 2015, vol.36, n.2, pp.153-158. ISSN 0258-5936.

The corn (Zea mays L.) is the alimentary main sustenance and the economic main line of the inhabitants to the Central Planalto of Angola; however, its productions are insufficient and economically unsustainable. For that reason, with the objective of knowing the corn production situation inside the agrarian sector of the Huambo province, it was carried out during the years 2010-2011 an investigation, starting from the knowledge of their qualitative and quantitative more outstanding indicators, to identify the causes of their limitations. 150 agrarian small producers were interviewed and the state of the social, economic and environmental conditions was analyzed, as well as the agricultural local situation, with emphasis in the knowledge of the variables that determine the state of productivity of the properties and its social repercussion. It could verify that in the rural areas of Huambo, Angola, still persist problems related with the three dimensions of the sustainability, finding a value of General Index (IGS) of 0,42 for corn production and of 0,54 for the three levels (NDAI, II, III); considered very distant indexes of the good values taken as starting point toward the sustainability. The analysis for dimensions of the sustainability showed the superiority of the Levels of Agrarian high and half (NDA II and III), development in the economic and sociocultural, but inferior at the level of development agrarian first low (NDAI) in the environmental dimension
