“…Besides, every year, new types of inputs and machines are introduced in the market, which promise to expand yields per area, as it can be seen in field demonstrations exhibited in the main agricultural fairs in the country. As a result, it is increasingly common to find farmers who resort to services external to the farm in support of production, such as hiring specialized technical assistance, subscribing climate reports, participating in training courses on the use of certain technologies (from equipment to applications), hiring tilling and harvesting services (among farmers that lack machinery) and hiring finance specialists to manage the farm (as already pointed out by Cáceres & Gras, 2020; Gras & Hernández, 2013, Gras & Hernández, 2016; Guibert et al, 2015).…”

“…Modern soy production stands out for its high and growing dependence on products external to the farm, such as transgenic seeds (increasingly specific to particular environments), synthetic fertilizers (produced with new raw materials and formulations) and agrochemicals (a huge variety of fungicides, herbicides and insecticides), in addition to the use of modern machinery and equipment, such as tractors, seeders, sprayers and harvesters (C aceres & Gras, 2020;Gras & Hern andez, 2013;Gras & Hern andez, 2016;Guibert et al, 2015). By offering these products to farmers and buying oilseed, transnational corporations have assumed an increasing role and market share in Paraguay.…”

Contemporary corporate‐led agricultural commodity production has seen profound transformations in rural spaces. This article focuses on soybean production in Paraguay, analysing corporate activity in the productive, commercial and economic dynamics of the soybean market and identifies the impacts of this monoculture on small farmers. Drawing on mixed methods, the research points to high levels of concentration of this market in the hands of a few transnational companies, which control the value chain via contractual relations with farmers. Through a complex set of relations, soybean production has seen smallholder farmers fall into debt and become unable to maintain their activity and migrate to new regions, leasing their land and, in the worst cases, lose both their land and status as farmers.

“…Ces associations d'acteurs gèrent une ressource productive au nom de leur propriétaire : elles louent le foncier nécessaire à leur projet de production, elle lèvent des fonds avec rémunération du capital, parfois, sous forme actionnariale. Par ailleurs, elles confient les travaux agricoles à des entreprises spécialisées et un ingénieur agronome est chargé du suivi de l'ensemble des cultures (Guibert et al, 2015). Ces producteurs argentins ont été attirés par le bon niveau technique de l'agriculture uruguayenne, par des terres bon marché (par rapport aux loyers pratiqués chez eux) et considérées comme aptes à une production plus intensive, et par la stabilité juridique du pays (Errea et al, 2011).…”

Reçu le 16 novembre 2017 -Accepté le 18 décembre 2017Résumé -En Amérique du Sud, depuis une quarantaine d'années, le soja s'est imposé dans les régions rurales historiquement consolidées (Pampa argentine, Sud du Brésil, Ouest uruguayen, Est paraguayen) ainsi que dans les zones de fronts agricoles (Cerrado brésilien, Chaco argentin, Oriente bolivien). Il entre dans les schémas de double culture annuelle sur la même parcelle et il a accéléré le délaissement de la combinaison élevage-agriculture au profit d'une agriculture en continu. Ainsi, cinq pays se sont progressivement spécialisés dans la production de ce protéagineux : Brésil tout d'abord, Argentine et Bolivie ensuite, Paraguay et Uruguay enfin. Cependant, au-delà d'une apparente convergence sous-continentale, certaines modalités régionales et locales diffèrent. De plus, au côté des États-Unis, ces pays constituent l'autre grand pôle sojicole du continent américain, qui s'est à son tour rendu incontournable sur le marché mondial des quatre co-produits : graines, protéine, huile brute et biodiesel. En effet, si le Brésil possède un marché national conséquent, les autres pays produisent du soja pour l'exporter.Mots clés : soja / Amérique du Sud / exportations / front agricole Abstract -The South American soybean hub. For the last forty years, soybean has emerged in South America as the unavoidable crop production in both the historically consolidated rural areas (Argentine Pampas, Southern Brazil, Uruguayan West, and Paraguayan East) and the agricultural fronts (Brazilian Cerrado, Argentine Chaco, Bolivian Orient). Soybeans are systematically included in annual doublecropping patterns on the same plot and have accelerated the abandonment of the livestock-crop combination in favor of continuous farming. As time goes by, five countries have gradually specialized in the production of this protein crop: Brazil first, Argentina and then Bolivia, Paraguay and Uruguay finally. However, beyond an apparent sub-continental convergence, several different regional and local modalities exist. In addition, along with the United States, these countries are the other major agricultural hub of the American continent, which is indispensable in the global market for the four co-products currently generated, namely seeds, protein, crude vegetable oil and biodiesel. Although Brazil has a large domestic market to fulfill, other South American countries produce soybeans for export.

“…As estatísticas agrícolas regionais mostram, por exemplo, que a intensificação, nas regiões próximas dos grandes centros de consumo, impulsiona os sistemas mais extensivos sobre as margens, contribuindo para a ampliação dos limites espaciais das atividades agrícolas. Nessas regiões, são encontradas as tendências compartilhadas nos grandes países agrícolas da América do Sul na sequencia do aquecimento do mercado agrícola dos anos 2000, quando a intensificação dos espaços agrícolas consolidados empurra as fronteiras agrícolas para mais adiante (Guibert, Buhler;Requier-Desjardins, 2015). Nesse caso, o uso mais intensivo dos solos conduz, paradoxalmente, a uma desconcentração agrícola em relação a uma escala mais ampla, acompanhado de uma degradação dos meios naturais na periferia.…”

Se, em diversos setores da economia, a lógica de acumulação capitalista se efetivou sem enfrentar maiores obstáculos, na agricultura, ao contrário, importantes aspectos relacionados a seu caráter natural lhe impuseram significativas limitações. Até a década de 1970, por exemplo, o cerrado não era considerado apto para a prática da agricultura do tipo que hoje é ali praticada. Da mesma forma, o avanço no campo das biotecnologias já superou e tem prometido a superação de algumas das limitações que ainda persistem. A partir de tais considerações, pretendemos caracterizar a agricultura desenvolvida nos cerrados nordestinos e analisar a relação que ela estabelece com a natureza a partir da técnica e da acumulação capitalista. Percebe-se, nessas regiões, a consolidação de uma agricultura neoliberal em que a comodificação da natureza é uma dimensão saliente no processo de incorporação de novas fronteiras agrícolas. Ela se apoia sobre o discurso e a prática tecnicista dos agentes do setor, que visam a um maior domínio dos processos produtivos. Nessa dinâmica, o desprezo pelos ecossistemas nativos e o controle da natureza a partir da técnica são, ainda, elementos fundamentais no discurso de atração de colonos e investidores no setor. Esses aspectos serão tratados tomando-se como base pesquisa empírica desenvolvida desde 2011 na região conhecida como MATOPIBA (Maranhão, Tocantins, Piauí e Bahia).
