Transformações na estrutura produtiva em Mato Grosso do Sul: um estudo sobre o capital agroindustrial canavieiro no município de Dourados-MS

Abstract

Given the expansion of monoculture in Mato Grosso do Sul in the south and now the state, we will study the city of Dourados. These reflections will be based on the process of territorial restructuring and productive in Dourados, specifically from the premises of the Golden Alcohol and Sugar Mills Ltd.. and San Fernando Ltda. that occurred from the year 2007. We agree that new relations in the territories are dominated by sugar plantations, so we rely primarily on the concept of territory, understood as social relations that produce the forms of occupation of the territory, and expresses the relationship between subjects -individuals, social groups, state enterprises, and among others that make up society. Therefore, the territory is marked by a history built by men who inhabit it and take ownership of it marked by contradictions and struggles that take place in a society. From the conception of territory, we want to understand the process of territorialization of the sugarcane agro-industries and the significant restructuring taking place in this process, highlighting the presence of the state as an engine of old and new capital territorialisations sugarcane. However, historically contextualize the dynamics of the territory in Dourados, entering this field of study in the Midwest Region and the State of Mato Grosso do Sul, to understand through the re-territorial divisions or regional work, the process of "economic occupation" and inserting these in the national economy. In that sense will perceive the start of a new territorial configuration re-aggregate to the ideological, around generation of employment and income that agribusiness involves. Backed by the state as the path to economic development without taking into account the conditions that permeate the work in exploration and extraction of surplus value the worker. Therefore, this expansion of production of sugarcane is anchored by capital appropriation of rent by sugarcane capital, imposed in the form of leases, whether in small, medium or large properties, implying, in this context, evidence of a reduction in food production.
