Dinâmicas territoriais no processo de expansão do agronegócio da soja e campesinato no Baixo Amazonas/PA

Abstract

The siren song, sung by agribusiness disseminators, with a seductive speech, involving modernization of chords, high in the indices of exports development via production oriented monocultures for export, has dispersed its notes everywhere. With it, trying to convince everyone that to achieve progress, it is essential to walk the path "via grãos". This discourse and practice have spread in the Territory of the Lower Amazon-PA, resulting in the implementation of "hegemonic agricultural models", supported in the production of exportoriented monocultures, especially the soybean agribusiness in the municipalities of Santarém and Belterra. However, "in the midst of this expansion, they hadsome peasants". However, these territories were already occupied by farmers long ago. This led to clashes of divergent and conflicting territoriality. It settled a dispute over land and changes in communities with ancient occupations of peasants, because of the expansion of this agribusiness. As a result, was intensified the arrival of soy producers, especially of northern Mato Grosso, who leasedor bought property to develop the planting of soybeans. The government has made investments to dynamize that production of agricultural commodities. The work screen made a cut that territory and selected three communities that experienced this insertion: Prata, Açaizal do Prata in the municipality of Belterra-PA and Paca, Mojuí in the municipality of Campos-PA. Was taken as the time limit period in 1999 (the early grain crops on a commercial scale) and 2013 (beginning of the course). Given this context, the objective of the research is to understand the process of soy agribusiness territorialization in these peasant communities
