Internacionalização e reestruturação produtiva no setor avícola de Mato Grosso do Sul

Abstract

The expansion of the agroindustry of the poultry complex to the state of Mato Grosso do Sul was motivated by the large-scale production of seeds (soybean and corn), by a less concentrated land structure (in the center-south portion of the state) due to the colonization process Inherited by Colonia agrícola Nacional de Dourados (CAND), by the availability of labor and encouraged by government programs focused on regional development in the 1970’s. Thus, the installation of the first poultry farms was based on a integration system, with properties based on the unit of family labor. The objective of this dissertation is to characterize the process of productive restructuring of the poultry industry in Mato Grosso do Sul from the implementation of the "Dark House" system, highlighting the industry-producer integration model proposed by agroindustrial capital and the implications for family agriculture, since over the years the increase in the capacity of industrial plants required another spatial and productive organization, which has been dominated by the flattening of producer prices, the concentration of production in the hand of a few poultry farmers (to the detriment of the less capitalized ones) favored by the modernization of the aviaries Due to its total automation in the breeding process (Dark House system). In this way, the presence of internationalized groups (BRF and JBS) operating in the poultry industry has led to a process of restructuring the local state poultry farming. Thus, the performance of these internationalized companies with BNDES investments has generated the concentration and centralization of chicken production, causing some producers to automate and increase their production scales, making them more capitalized, as well as reducing the participation of producers Which are not part of the new logic of these companies.
