This paper identifies the main circuits of goat meat commercialisation, their features and carcass cuts in the Ceara's State. A pilot countryside survey with four focus cities was conducted to provide a basic information framework on this area. The commercial relationships among the market agents in the different circuits and the Gross Value Added incorporation process are analysed. It was identified four fundamental commercialisation types. The necessity of an appropriated support prices policy to the semiarid conditions to the Artisan and Traditional Circuits type was recommended. Furthermore, the point of comemrcial activity strangulation is found in the small power of bargain and decision of the small farm households. Higher organisation level of the small farm households is associated with better familiar income in some commercialisation circuits.  aBrazil  aCommercialization  aGoat meat  aGoats  aMeat carcasses  aMicroeconomics  aSemiarid zones  aCaprino  aBrasil  aCadeia comercial  aCorte de carcaca  aMicro-economia da producao  aNordeste  aSemiárido1 aOLIVEIRA, J.
