Introduction: To meet the growing productive sector and society’s demand for bioinputs as alternatives in agricultural systems and for even more sustainable products, Decree No. 10,375 was published on May 2020, which created the National Program of Bioinputs. Objective: Considering the importance of the program’s purpose, which is to expand and strengthen the use of bioinputs in the country to benefit the agricultural and livestock sectors, and since the program is an instrument of Brazilian Agricultural Policy, it is proposed to investigate the program implementation concerning one of its main tools, the biofactories. Method: Taking a sample, the investigation maps and traces a profile around the working conditions of some biofactories installed in properties that produce their own bioinputs (on farm system), through the use of a research survey, as a standardized technique for data collection. Results: Weaknesses were found in on farm manufacturing processes. The information generated, mainly regarding the potential dangers inherent in the manufacture of bioinputs and raised by this study, can be used for supporting decision making and program improvement. Conclusions: The results of this research intend to contribute to the improvement of the entire process, so that it works as a tool to guide and prioritize the actions to be carried out by the actors involved. Bioinputs must, in fact, be well managed in order to reflect their benefits with low risk.
