WESZ JUNIOR, Valdemar João et al. Dinâmicas recentes do agronegócio no Oeste do Pará (Brasil): expansão da soja e estruturação de corredores logísticos. Mundo agrar. [online]. 2021, vol.22, n.50, e174. ISSN 1515-5994.  http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/10.24215/15155994e174.

The expantion of soybean in Brazil has transformed rural landscapes and fostered the installation of large logistical structures, especially in the Amazon region. The aim of this paper is to understand the dynamics of soybean expansion and the structuring of logistical corridors in this region and its impacts on land commodification. Based on a bibliographic survey and secondary data, and the realization of fieldwork, in this article we seek to problematize the ways in which this process has been taking place in the Western Pará region, one of the main and recent “agricultural borders and structuring of logistical corridors” in Brazil. The results indicate an intense expansion of soy in the region, as well as the consolidation of this logistical corridor, the result of a set of strategies, not always convergent, implemented by different social actors.

Keywords : Agribusiness; Logistical Corridors; Agricultural Borders; Amazon.
