Cadeia de comercialização de produtos de floresta secundária dos municípios de Bragança, Capitão Poço e Garrafão do Norte – Pará
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2007) GOMES, Denyse Maria de Almeida; BRIENZA JUNIOR, Silvio; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1750852376922258; COSTA, Francisco de Assis
Many studies about secondary forest associate it with important bio-geo- chemists functions to degenerated ecosystems in the Amazon basin, transforming it in important component to be preserved in the landscape. To conserve these forest areas, in the last years a lot of studies has been done to demonstrate the secondary forest importance to small holding system. This study characterized commercialization chains of Secondary Forest products, categorized by fruitful (açaí, bacuri, buriti), timber (vegetable coal, firewood and stake), derived of animal (bee honey) and medicinal plants (andiroba, barbatimão, copaíba, sucuúba, unha-de-gato and veronica) in the county of Bragança, Capitão Poço and Garrafão do Norte, in Pará State, Brazil. For each category was studied the commercialized production, gross income generated, mercantile agents involved and commercialization channels structures. The research methodology was based in the Leontief Input-Output Product theory that helps to describes and analyzes the commercialization structures and value aggregation along the productive chain. For this study were used field data collected in 2004. The main results were: identification of well established commercialization chains in informal markets; the mercantile relationships established to the commercialization of secondary forest products exhibit advantages on the agricultural products; and the better gross income accomplishes with direct sale to the final consumer.

Camponeses e território em Mocajuba: uma análise econômico-espacial das trajetórias tecnológicas
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2015-06-23) NOGUEIRA, Karen de Nazareth Santos; COSTA, Francisco de Assis; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1820238947667908
The research focus especially in the analysis of the rural territorial setting of Mocajuba‟s city, which is located in Baixo-Tocantins region. The mocajubense rural is predominantly peasant. Based in the notion of trajectories, it is intended to study the specificity of the peasant economy, particularly its segment based on the agroextractivism (T2), it sets, under a work intermediation, Mocajuba‟s territory. This ancestral peasantry founded a dynamic linked to structural processes that movements the region‟s economy from a productive logic whose technical domain of the production is given by specific havings, whose management practices presuppose the biome‟s maintenance. This peasant way of life is grounded under identity and territorial relations predetermined and which surpass the physical limits proposed by areas of land regularization. These territorialities fundament the productive and reproductive relations of these agents who operates the biome in a specific manner. Based on this, it is aimed to indicate how much work the agents of the T2 peasant trajectory, use in the territory, illustrating these settings through cartographical representation. Enabling the interaction economy-territory in the understanding of the space, not only as an extension of the actions, but also as quality. It is searched up the understanding of how the interaction is made in an economy based in typical peasant structures of the agroextractivist‟s trajectory T2. This is, how it happens in a marked territory by the productive and reproductive T2 dynamics.

O Dimensionamento das trajetórias tecnológicas de base agrária na Região Tocantina e suas implicações para o desenvolvimento local
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2010-04-26) ROCHA, Enéas Nunes; COSTA, Francisco de Assis; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1820238947667908
The usual pattern of the rural capitalist development in Amazônia is based on the agricultural paradigm and on technologic employment paths, which are anchored to traditional institutions which reverts its favor to benefit of public politics for the rural segment expressed by the volume of credit accessed by these agents, while at the same time the usual pattern verified the existence of farming structures with a rationality opposite to those of the employer and with a different technological path, which participates with a representation of the rural production value, employing a larger volume of manpower and having a more efficient use of the resources at its disposal. The technological farming paths backed by the agro-forestry paradigm represented in the Tocantina Region as an alternative for sustainable development in the area and in this way, object and challenge the formation of public politics for the rural sector. So, development with social equity, ecological balance and economical efficiency in the Tocantina Region, would necessarily go through the incentives of technological procedures of farming and for changes in the institutional base that legalizes the current model.

A Dinâmica das inovações nas empresas do pólo industrial de Manaus: um novo momento relacionado aos constrangimentos ambientais a partir do ano 2000
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2008-06-26) DINIZ, Márcia Jucá Teixeira; COSTA, Francisco de Assis; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1820238947667908
The main objective of this thesis is the confirmation of the neo-Schumpeterian theory, addressing technical change by companies operating in the Pólo Industrial de Manaus - PIM. Particular consideration is given to the introduction of innovations related to the environment, and how this is related to the measure of concentration for each industry operating in the PIM. The data used for this research include both primary and secondary sources. The secondary data, obtained in jointly with the Supervision Free Trade Zone in Manaus – SUFRAMA refer to variables related to the economic performance of the companies, operating in PIM. The primary data was collected through questionnaires answered to SUFRAMA. A descriptive analysis was then conducted employing both sets of data, followed by an econometric model, which used simultaneous equations. The results obtained confirm the main hypothesis of the study, which is that innovations, especially those related to the environment tend to have a significant and positive effect on the concentration ratio. In addition, it was found that among the firms considered polluters according to the literature, were those which introduced more environmentally related innovations.

Dinâmica do processo de inovação do açaí: a trajetória de pesquisa e desenvolvimento do BRS-Pará
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2016-04-28) GUIMARÃES, Camilla Maria Cavalcante; COSTA, Francisco de Assis; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1820238947667908
In Pará state açaí is the main product of the fruit-growing, generating an approximate value of R $ 677.2 million. With the expansion of production for upland areas, came the difficulty of standardization and homogeneity of production and thus lower quality. In an attempt to solve this problem, the Federal institute Embrapa Amazônia Oriental developed through genetic breeding the BRS-Pará, first crop for solid ground, with high productivity, early production and production in the off-season. Thus, the research aimed to analyze the process of innovation and profitability of BRS-Pará breeding. For the construction of this analysis it was necessary to characterize the BRS-Pará product developed by EMBRAPA, from the conception of the idea to product development, where were used for the analysis. The technological structure, productive and reproductive problems that gave origin to BRS-Pará were analyzed, through interviews with the technicians responsible for the development of farming. The perspective used to understand the process of innovation and technological came from Lundvall, Freeman, Cassiolato who argues that the process occurs from the interaction between different actors, institutions, support mechanisms and research work in collaboration to facilitate this process. At last, were collected accounting and production data of a farm that works with Açaí BRS-Pará crops, evaluating profitability, productivity and balance point of BRS-Pará crops. To understand the phenomenon we used the notion of paradigms and technological trajectories, based on the notion of Dosi and Nelson, however Costa perspective (2009) was highlighted to be a necessary contextualization of the natural environment in the formation and constitution of paradigms and their trajectories. The production unit analyzed is included in the T5 concept, path defined by Costa, as part of the patriarchal system, where there is an intensive land use and landscape homogenization. The study showed high level of profitability, because the crop enables revenue generation in the period between harvests, when prices rise, as well as the benefits of irrigation for the development of production.

Economia dos produtos florestais não-madeireiros no Estado do Amapá: sustentabilidade e desenvolvimento endógeno
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2010-06-02) CARVALHO, Antonio Claudio Almeida de; COSTA, Francisco de Assis; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1820238947667908
The extractivism of native products, based on the sustainable explotation of non-timber forest products (NTFPs), is for sure one of the most consistent ecological alternatives, with respect to the conservation of the biodiversity and natural Amazonian forest cover. There is no doubts that there are systemic problems that represent barriers for the satisfactory development of this segment. The overflow production multiplier effect of the sectors in the extractivists supply chain of the Amazon is a preponderant variable that contributes for the low level of social and economical development of this region. Therefore, is imperative the theoretical analysis about the possibilities of development based in modern bases of that new capitalism that has been trying to perfect the economical mechanisms for the global sustainability. The Amap´a is the most preserved State Brazilian (97% of original forest) and 72% of its territory are areas legally protected. This work tries to identify contribution level that non-timber forest products, extracted from forest dwellers, has in the economy of State Amapá. The central method of analysis used in this work came from the model of matrix input-output, developed by Wassily Leontief. This analytical procedure has relevant prominence as practical instrument of analysis and economical planning. Besides of the analyses of programming of the sectorial economical growth, it is adapted to estimate by the multipliers effect, the impacts of the economical growth on the production, job and sectorial income of all economy. This main object of study are the analyses of the local productive arrangements of the non-timber forest products in the State of Amap´a, at both regional and local levels. The method developed by the Francisco de Assis Costa (Alpha Social Accounts - CS_) was used for construction of the matrix input-output, with base of progressive analytical procedures and through continuous aggregation of local data. The sector of the extractivism of non-timber forest products in the state of Amapá, with a GDP (Growth Domestic Product) of R$ 204 millionin in 2009, that represent 3,07% of total of GDP of the state of Amapá that is apparently small. Therefore, thit value is extremely significant when is analyzed the total GDP of the state of Amapá (R$ 6,65 billion) and that only 13,24% refers to the Productive Sector, while 86,77% refers for the Tertiary Sector.

A Emergência da agroindústria de processamento de frutas no nordeste paraense, região metropolitana de Belém e no Marajó: uma análise do potencial da capacidade produtiva e inovativa sob a ótica de Arranjo e Sistema Produtivo Inovativo Local – ASPL
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2004-10-21) ANDRADE, Wanderlino Demetrio Castro de; COSTA, Francisco de Assis; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1820238947667908
The Local Productive Arrangement (LPA) of Fruits Processing from Northeast of Pará State, Belém Metropolitan Region and Marajó Isle, in Brazilian Oriental Amazon, destines to attend national, regional and local markets. It offers products from exotics and regional fruits. The rural base presents yielding capacity increasing shaped from family farmers. Those farmers have guided their yields to complexity and diversification, where fruits production have highlight in this process. The LPA distinguishes so much informal structures (micro-scale) of açaí processing (local market) well as large scale industries guided exports. The LPA presents high growth rates but with potential of renting limited by structural conditions. One hand those limitations reflecting the short level of governance and cooperation amongst firms. In other hand, are outcome of little interaction capacity amongst enterprises set with the institutional environment. Thus, there are difficulties to consolidate and raise the yielding and innovative capacity of the firms.

Evolução agrária do Nordeste paraense por contas sociais ascendentes: a inclusão das redes mercantis de insumos nos processos metodológicos e o cálculo dos níveis de endogenização
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2009-12-15) ANDRADE, Wanderlino Demetrio Castro de; COSTA, Francisco de Assis; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1820238947667908
The importance of this work is to analyze the dynamics of economic evolution in Northeastern Pará, in their fundamental structures of agricultural production, interpreting the results by means of sectoral impacts and spillovers of income and output in the economy. To this end, we applied the model accounts Agrarian Social Ascending Base (Input-Output Matrix) methodologically more comprehensive than the earlier approaches applied in the earlier work by Pires (2002) and André (2004) the same region, all derived Costa (2002abcd), including this work. Among other differences, the model was initially developed internally connected by the flow of products between the geographical size of the place, the state and national levels, where the production value is formed in the direction going from production to final consumption, or even the rural to urban, which will follow the direction of local production by domestic final demand. For this work, the way methodically adopted, as presented by Costa in 2008 in southeast Pará, incorporates primarily backward chains of inputs and investments that are reconstituted in the paths of the agents until the "first supplier" for both networks of price formation, as wages and gross margin (markup), which allows a differentiated analysis of the multipliers sectoral impacts, resulting in retention and spillovers analysis between income and product forms of production and their occurrences Structural geographical, examining the provisions of the centripetal and centrifugal forces, which allows you to make interpretations about the possibilities of local economic connections to the development, from the indexes of agglomeration.

Exploração de recursos florestais não madeireiros pelos Mẽbêngôkre-Kayapó da aldeia Las Casas - terra indígena Las Casas, no sudeste do Pará: aspectos biológicos, sociais e econômicos relevantes para a sustentabilidade da comercialização
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2016-05-12) GONZÁLEZ PÉREZ, Sol Elizabeth; MITJA, Danielle; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3686851570084502; COSTA, Francisco de Assis; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1820238947667908
This thesis analyzes the different types of non-timber forest products use on Indigenous Land Las Casas, as well as the importance of them to Mẽbêngôkre people of village Las Casas subsistence. Besides that, the thesis describes the use and the ways that the products and the community of Las Casas follow through market. The research was a combination of interdisciplinary methods and techniques of biological sciences, and human sciences, finally using techniques of ethnobotany, and geographic information systems. To understand the current context of the use of non-timber forest products and the integration into the market, it was conducted an analyzes of the history of occupation of Indigenous Land Las Casas, the dynamics of the use of land through the processing of Landsat satellite images, and the different types of soil were described by Mẽbêngôkre-Kayapó village of Las Casas occupation, also with the plants and resources used, that is the traditional economy of this people. I also analyzed the different forms of relationship of Mẽbêngôkre Kayapó with the surrounding society and how these influenced the market integration and different economic activities, highlighting in Las Casas to entering the market through Mẽkunhêre and Me à yry Las Casas projects. I found that the Indigenous Land Las Casas presents a dynamic use of the land guided by deforestation events and recovery of deforested areas. In this way, the Kayapó people recognize and classify different types of land use between that stand out savannas and forests, and disturbed areas resulting from the occupation by squatters in the area, for the establishment of cattle ranches. The classification of land use by Kayapó people from Las Casas was compatible to that obtained by the satellite Landsat-8, yet the Kayapó differentiate occupations that the image cannot be recognized, as are babaçuais, pequizais, barns, fields and humid areas. In these territories, the Kayapó people hunt, fish, and cultivate their traditional way fields. Among the plant species used for their livelihoods, identify and explore at least 95 useful species distributed in 36 families and 72 botanicals genera. For these species were raised 21 different uses grouped into eight categories of use. The species that were highlighted uses for subsistence and production of material culture belong to the family Arecaceae (Attalea speciosa Mart., Mauritia flexuosa L.f., Oenocarpus distichus Mart) e Caryocaraceae (Caryocar brasiliense A.St.-Hil.) and Caryocaraceae (Caryocar brasiliense A.St.-Hil.). These species are managed by them and are part of resource exchange network between villages, which ensures the circulation of different crop varieties, and raw materials used in the production of objects intended for ritual life and commercialization. Finally, for the commercialization in a sustainable manner the fruits of babassu and pequi, would be necessary to develop management plans for both species. In this way, the activity that provides more income opportunities is the commercialization of handicrafts. Even so, there are still aspects that should be improved. Especially in Ngonh-rôrô-kre association and community organization.

A Firma chegou, pesou, levou, aí vai tirar seus bilhões (...), mas o agricultor não sai daqueles centavos: expropriação e resistências camponesas na Amazônia paraense
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2019) FERNANDES, Daniel dos Santos; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8436207354089348; COSTA, Francisco de Assis; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1820238947667908
Whenever peasant formations are in some way in direct relation to sectors of the capitalist economy, the debate arises about their permanence or subsumption. In this paper I deal with this subject, and I present as a working hypothesis that the contracts made between family farmers and oil palm companies do not turn them into a class for capital, but they compose particular ways for capitalism to promote their expanded reproduction. Using the ethnographic method I show that in the Amazon the expansion of oil palm contains all the elements identified by Marx in what he called primitive accumulation, and that this does not constitute an obstacle to capitalist existence, on the contrary, proves Rosa Luxemburg's central thesis. According to Luxemburg, "As a historical process, the accumulation of capital progresses from beginning to end in a medium consisting of various precapitalist formations, and in constant political confrontation, maintaining endless economic exchange with them." Thus, and in view of today's context, the author's theoretical scheme is current and valid.

The work aims to analyze the context and the performance of the Associação Alternativa de Produtores (Alternative Association of Producers - APA), organization founded in 1992 for a group of farmers of the municipal district of Ouro Preto of West, in the state of Rondônia, Brazil. With the purpose of supporting the projects of life its associated families and led from the ideal of the sustainable development APA stressed itself to overcome the crisis of the shifting cultivation among the migrating farmers, the ones which moved in the seventies and eighties by governmental politics in the Amazon Area, that implemented colonization projects and opened new moving frontiers by the construction of highways. The work reconstitutes the fundaments of the ideal of the sustainable development and the path of the development project that took those producers to Rondônia; it characterizes the institutional problems, beside the limits of technical nature with which they were confronted in the exercise of an agriculture of traditional feature; it reconstitutes also the motivations and movements that led to the foundation of the APA, verifying in what extension the values of civilism, solidarity and cooperation with perspectives of reaching the economic efficiency base the initiatives. Finally, analyze, starting from the results of primary research, if there is a correspondence among the ideals that forged the constitution of the Association and the reality its associates. In that moment it will be tested, comparing a group of associated with a group of not associated of APA, if its performance converges with the ideal of its foundation: if its politics is reflected in a larger economic efficiency, in a greater hope of sustainability of the productive systems managed by the families and, also, in a larger justness among them.

The altered space is understood by social practices and lived experiences, conformed in habitus, technique and institutions. The organization of space results from a continuous and repeated combination of actions and objects, according to representations, material and symbolic, that interact within social relations, as subjective bonds that are objectified in the connection between a geographic cut and the social conformations. The dynamics of technological trajectories, as a more visible element of these changes, is the analytical tool to indicate the movements arising from the action and reaction of the structuring structure before a structured structure. Based on the construction of these theoretical-methodological elements, it is sought to understand the phenomenon of the advance of palm oil in the Amazon by reference to the changes resulting from this social fact, through its spatial objectification. Having as a case study the alterations that occurred in the Vale do Acará, Pará, as space-place, an objectified social and geographic space.

Impactos do REDD em uma economia camponesa amazônica: uma análise baseada em eficiência reprodutiva
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2012-11-14) SILVA, Luiz Gonzaga Feijão da; COSTA, Francisco de Assis; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1820238947667908
This dissertation aims to analyze the potential impacts of REDD in the Amazon peasant economy, considering its production and reproduction. Consolidated as one of the oldest structures peasants of Brazil, the technological trajectory agroforestry (T2), studied in this research, has been managing sustainably, for centuries, the territories where it predominates in the Amazon. The peasants agents have an economy driven by a very specific rationality as its microeconomics and their relations with the capitalist market environment. Such peculiarities of the economy require more complex analyzes, disqualifying greatnesses socially established, especially lucre and income as a way to measure changes in these structures. The insertion of the monetary resources of REDD (monetary resources external the family production) have different impacts accordance with the reproductive patterns field that characterizes the family units, this pattern defined using essentially the greatnesses that meet the requirements of economic rationality of such structures: If h is converging to β, namely, for the crisis field, REDD will promote increased in potential investment short-term and production long-term. If h is converging to h ° = (2 * β) / (1 + β), namely, for the excitation investments field, resources REDD allowed the increase of the potential investment (already the highest among the fields) short-term and production long-term according to the age of the family. If h is converging to 1, namely, the comfort field, REDD cause long-term reduction of potential investment, h, production and increase the dependency of industrialized products which may compromise long-term the reproduction units in this field. The families that converge to the excitation field investments are mostly in the sample. Other result is the qualification of services provided by agents of agrarian Amazon, using the notion of technological paradigm behind the technological trajectories and of the % GHG emissions by technological trajectory, which would provide a fair and efficient criterion for a future REDD regime in Brazil and will assist in achieving your objective.

In this doctoral thesis, a methodology for spatialization of social and economic data in remote sensing images is developed, guided by the concept of technological trajectories applied to agrarian dynamics in the Amazon, with the objective of contributing to studies on deforestation and changes in land use. The work is carried out from the land mapping of a large agricultural region in the state of Pará, and the integration of statistics from the IBGE Agricultural Census with images from the LANDSAT satellite in the 1995-1996 and 2005-2006 years. As a result, it appears that the integration of social data in remote sensing images allows a more detailed reading of the vegetation with the integration of spectral data to the economic vectors that determine agricultural exploitation, allowing to conclude that the application of the concept of technological trajectories with explicit spatial reference facilitates a greater understanding of the driving forces behind deforestation and changes in land use in the Amazon.

This research questions the contributions that the innovations and productive changes that come from the economy of the maniva, in Tracuateua da Ponta, have in favor of the understanding of the innovation and the capacity of peasant permanence. The community located in Santo Antônio do Tauá - PA is 19 km from the municipal headquarters and is representative mainly for being known as the land of the maniçoba, typical food of the cuisine of Pará. The sale of pre-cooked maniva emerged in the community in 1980 and triggered significant changes in the peasant's productive routine. The research obtained primary data from semi-structured interviews and an ethnographic reading effort to understand the technical changes, the historical path of the community and the activity beyond the consequences of technical regulation agencies. It deals with peasant innovation breaking with the classical literature that sees the peasantry as a way of life and of production in extinction. It concludes by weaving theoretical and empirical dialogues with the field lessons, in an effort of synthesis and reflection on internal specificities of the peasant family productive model

Os Negros no agrário amazônico: diversidade histórica e contemporânea do campesinato paraense
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2025-02-27) CRISPIM, Sebastião Novais Sousa; COSTA, Francisco de Assis; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1820238947667908
The thesis investigates the intrinsic relationship between the Black population and the agrarian space of the Paraense Amazon, analyzing the historical formation and structural diversity of the Black peasantry. The research demonstrates that the construction of Black race in Brazil, rooted in colonization and the capitalist system, established a pattern of exploitation that has perpetuated in the agrarian sector. The analysis recovers the historical centrality of the Black population in the Amazonian agrarian structure, marked by resistance to slavery, such as the formation of quilombos, and the pursuit of autonomy through peasant labor after abolition. The investigation details the diversity of the peasantry in the Amazon, identifying different historical forms of organization and their specific economic logics, centered on family reproduction needs. The thesis uses census data (2017 and 2022) to evidence the growing demographic relevance of the Black population in Pará, including the rural space, and their numerical predominance as producers in various forms of peasantry. However, the research also points to the persistence of racial inequalities in land access, with a concentration of larger areas under the control of white producers. The in-depth analysis of the prevalent historical peasant forms in Pará (CbO, CbF, and ReC) reveals that the Black population is the majority in the number of establishments in all of them, confirming the historical constitution of a Black peasantry in the most traditional forms of the Amazonian peasant economy. The thesis concludes that Blackness is a substantial and central element in the contemporary Amazonian agrarian sector, and the results reinforce the urgency of considering the racial dimension in the formulation of public policies for sustainable rural development in the Amazon, aiming at overcoming historical inequalities and promoting equity in access to resources and opportunities for the Black peasantry.

This study aims to analyze and measure the dynamic economy of Manaus Industrial Pole as a development model under the conditions advocated by Kaldor-Verdoorn Law, which has as one of the focus to analyze the relation between production and productivity, under the conditions advocated by Kaldor-Verdoorn Law applied to industries of Manaus Industrial Pole. The Kaldor-Verdoorn Law proposes that theres a trend to productivity growth as long as production grows. Economies of scale are generated in an endogen way by technical change and technological learning (learning by doing), which is a resulted of the demand growth that allows the exploitation of the dynamics economies of present scale mainly, in the manufacturing sector. Based on this statement, total productivity of factors and the partial productivity are estimated. The dynamic of this economy is analyzed through empirically related to the Industries production and performance from January of 1995 to December of 2004 through an Error Correction Model, Granger Causality Test and Structural VAR Model. The Results indicates a reasonable degree of dynamism in this economy, because of the effect combination of short and long term made possible the productivity growth in an accelerated rhythm with quick answers in a short term of productivity under changing shocks in production and employment total values. Shows also the existence of endogenous sources of growth productivity, showing in evidence the crescent scale economies.
