Sumario:By understanding that modern times requires Science which dialogues with the responsible ones that, along with it, form the innovation network, prospective studies play an essential role with PD&I organizations in the strategic decision-making process. Considering that such studies aim to understand the various market forces, this paper’s goal is to present a historical survey about the prospective studies related to the coconut tree culture. Based on the records of four prospective studies carried out by Empresa Brasileira de Pesquisa Agropecuária (EMBRAPA) Tabuleiros Costeiros teams at different historical moments (1987, 1996, 2014 and 2017/2018), a historical contextualization of the demands raised by such studies is presented, especially regarding the area of genetic improvement. Thereby, it is expected to record an important history in the Brazilian agricultural research and contribute to reflections on the importance of a dialogue between Science and Value Chains, seeking to contribute to actions that effectively meet social demands.
