Jandaíra

Jandaíra is a Brazilian municipality located in the state of Rio Grande do Norte. It is situated in the microregion of Baixa do Açu and the mesoregion of Oeste Potiguar.

The municipality's economy is primarily based on agriculture, livestock, and services. Significant agricultural products include cashew nuts, fruits, and beans. Livestock farming focuses mainly on cattle and goats.

Jandaíra's history dates back to the colonial period, with its development closely linked to the expansion of agricultural activities in the region. The area's population has historically been characterized by small rural communities engaged in subsistence farming.

The municipality is characterized by the semiarid climate typical of the Northeast region of Brazil. Rainfall is irregular and concentrated in a few months of the year, leading to challenges for agriculture.

Jandaíra is governed by a mayor and a city council, elected by the local population. The municipality provides basic public services such as education, healthcare, and sanitation, although these services may face challenges due to resource limitations.

The cultural heritage of Jandaíra is reflected in its local festivals, traditions, and crafts, which are influenced by the region's history and the lifestyle of its inhabitants.
