The last decades of the 18th century were an important moment for the economy of Grão-Pará. Influenced by the external situation that gave it opportunities for greater development of its endogenous productive and commercial sector. During this period, the captaincy of Grão-Pará became important for the Crown's interests in colonial territory. From Belém, commercial communications should be established with the captaincies of Mato Grosso and Goiás, guaranteeing territorial integrity and maintaining exports of colonial goods to Portugal. However, several issues arose that made it difficult to execute the planned actions, mainly in connection with Goiás. The Goiás villages were experiencing a systemic crisis after the collapse of mine production and were demanding a transition to an agricultural-based economy. Trade with Grão-Pará was seen as a solution to the problem of lack of goods and credit. Official documentation shows that the authorities were taking all possible measures to encourage agricultural activity, both for supplies and for export, but with few results. However, traders from Pará were reluctant after becoming aware of the real state of those villages. The Portuguese State, through its representatives, sought to develop the region by resuming its settlement policies based on prisons and records and agricultural development, granting tax exemptions and other benefits to settlers. Thus, we can see that the measures taken by both captaincies contributed to the creation of a wide-ranging commercial scheme throughout the Araguaia-Tocantins region.

Planta-me no pó e não tenhas de mim dó: agricultura no Grão-Pará setecentista (1730- 1822)

The eighteenth century is an important moment for agriculture in Grão-Pará, through various documentary sources, we could highlight the process of occupation of the Tocantins river gutter, a region that could be understood as the first densely populated agricultural circle under the dominion of Belém, an influence observable by the territorial organization and the rearrangement of the family units in relatively autonomous structures of production and consumption, as part of the agrarian project, which was characterized by the introduction of new productive techniques, incorporation of new lands to agriculture followed by new genera and cultivation methods. The agrarian project reflected on the various subjects that made up the rural world of Paraense throughout the 7th Century, mainly in the Tocantins River valley region due to the proximity of Belém. In this region, we observe colonist migration, miscegenation, and the dispersal process as factors that contributed to generate families with endogenous preconditions to live and produce without difficulties in the Amazonian environment, reproducing only by the work of its members. In this sense, this dispersed population will seize the possible spaces and develop agro-extractive activities. What we need to understand clearly is that colonial agriculture balances within a diverse range of influences that determine its conditions and characteristics, as well as perceive the multiple composition of the rural world. In this sense, this paper seeks to emphasize the participation of this dispersed population, contributing to an understanding of the complexity of colonial society organization and dynamism in the region of the Tocantins River Valley.
