The objective is to show the effects of non-agricultural incomes of the Foster-Greer-Thorbecke poverty indices (FGT) for rural households in the state of Pernambuco using the propensity score matching methodology (PSM). According to the observed results, the average impact of non-farm incomes on agricultural exclusively to R$ 177.93 and R$ 180.40 for the two pairing methods used; the proportion of poor fell more than 24 percentage points; the poverty gap is reduced on average by 27 percentage points and the severity of poverty decreases more than 22 percentage points.
