As a theory, endogenous development considers the presence of determining factors in the local or territorial context in three important dimensions: economic, sociocultural and political, which altogether explain the reasons why, or based on what specificities, regions, given the same conditions, show different dynamics or processes of development. In-order to understand the differentiations regarding the processes of development of the regions, another theory was also formulated, that of social capital, which theoretically affirms that regions with the presence of this capital are more developed when compared to regions in which social capital is absent. Based on these theoretical propositions, we sought to identify the presence of social capital in the municipality of Tomé-Açu and to analyze the contribution of the Mixed Agricultural Cooperative of Tomé-Açu (CAMTA) to local development. The research is characterized as an exploratory-descriptive case study. Thus, the research was carried out in order to characterize the municipality of Tomé-Açu, as well as the Region of Capim, identifying aspects related to its historical economic and social formation. We identified the collaborative factors for the formation of the Japanese-Brazilian colony in the municipality of Acará, in addition to those that enhanced the Japanese social capital among the Japanese immigrant settlers. The research results confirm that the Japanese social capital and its social organization promoted changes within the colony giving it a new character based on cooperation, solidarity, mutual aid and systematic work, which greatly impacted the territory giving it new configuration in the political, geographic and economic field promoting the local development of Tomé-Açu. Currently, the Mixed Agricultural Cooperative of Tomé-Açu operates in conformity with the dimensions of sustainability with a focus on Agroforestry System of Tomé-Açu (SAFTA), which also constitutes in social technology transferred to the communities of family farmers in the region.
