A dendeicultura em Igarapé-Açu/Pará: um olhar sobre as relações de trabalho que tipificam o trabalhador rural na Agroindustrial Palmasa
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2024-02-29) CARDOSO, Marlon Kauã Silva; RIBEIRO, Tânia Guimarães; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1193175057010343; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1683-3659
The objective of this research was to analyze the work relationships that characterize rural workers in the palm oil agroindustry in Igarapé-Açu, notably analyzing Agroindustrial Palmasa. The palm oil agroindustry, at a macropolitical level, was territorialized in the northeast of Pará through state developmental actions in civil-military governments in the 1960s, planned by the Superintendence for Economic Valorization of the Amazon (SPVEA) and the Superintendency for the Development of the Amazon (SUDAM), and, it has a new impulse with the neo-developmentalism of the 2000s, associated with sustainable development, through the National Biodiesel Production Program (PNPB) and the Sustainable Palm Oil Program (PSOP). These led to integration projects, to obtain the Social Fuel Seal (SCS), between palm oil producers and family farmers in municipalities in the northeast of Pará. Through qualitative methodology, combining interview, bibliographic and quantitative data, we verified that the most recent public policies did not cover the economic activities of Agroindustrial Palmasa, in Igarapé-Açu. In the region, contracts predominate, but only for purchase and sale, an associative relationship, between medium/large rural palm oil producers and the company itself. In this way, direct relations between classes gravitate between medium/large farmers and farm workers responsible for working on the farms.

Dinâmicas territoriais, dendeicultura e produção de culturas alimentares: o caso do município de Moju, PA

We have exposed in this work the doctorate thesis titled: LAND USE, OIL PALM FARMING AND PRODUCTION OF FOOD CROPS: An Analysis of Family Farmers Integrated with the Company Agropalma, in the municipality of Moju, PA, Brazil. We defend in the thesis that oil palm farming reduces food production in the locations where it is implemented. Our hypothesis is that this reduction occurs because the implementation of family agriculture projects with oil palm cultivation requires two essential resources: labor and land. In the specific case of pilot projects I (2002) and III (2005), integrated with the company Agropalma, the occupation of the area was different compared with the occupation of the area of project IV (2006). We aimed to analyze the impacts of oil palm farming expansion on food production by the family groups integrated with the productive chain of oil palm in the municipality of Moju. We wished, in this study, just as Nahum and Santos (2015), to geographically interpret the oil palm farming dynamics in the municipality of Moju starting at the category of used land (Santos; Silveira, 2001). We used, in this study, two methodologically complementary procedures: The analytical methodology based on the periodization and event concepts by Santos (2006) and Santos and Silveira (2001), which allowed us to think of a previous time (T1), the arrival of events (projects), and a period of time after the implementation of the projects (T2); and the operational methodology composed of literature review, cartographic surveys, structured and semi-structured interviews, and field work. The thesis is structured in three parts: In the first chapter, we analyze the land use by small family farmers prior to the arrival of family projects with oil palm crops. We used the peasant farm category by Woortmann (1983) to empirically show those dynamics. In those properties, land uses were subjected to different forms of work, solidarity bonds, and production systems. Their productions aimed at both consumption (use) and sale (exchange). In the second chapter, we show the events that shaped the family agriculture projects with oil palm farming in the Alto Moju and PA 150 regions, in the municipality of Moju. We analyzed, above all, the events that enabled the emergence of projects I (Arauaí I) and project II (Arauaí II), part of the Association of Community Development of the Arauaí Sector (Associação do Desenvolvimento Comunitário do Ramal do Arauaí - ASDECRA). In the third chapter, we analyze the transformations the process of integrating family projects to oil palm farming brought to land use, to the subjects, and to the production of food crops that fed the households and myriad remote homes.

Indigenas, quilombolas e dendeicultura na Amazônia: expropriações e relações de poder no Alto do Vale do rio Acará no município de Acará/PA (1980-2021)
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2023-09-26) SAAVEDRA, Maria da Paz Corrêa; CASTRO, Edna Maria Ramos de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4702941668727146; PETIT, Pere; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8376409779394321; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8970-3073
In the Amazon, in the rural area of the Pará, territories are appropriated for the interests of big capital without identification with the surroundings in which they are established, configuring the growth of territorial insecurity due to large enterprises, culminating in enclosures, the core of the expropriation of traditional communities, making explicit challenges to the institutionalization of ethnic recognition contemplated in normative instruments and, contributing to the permanence of the historical process of invisibilization of populations that claim territorial rights. In this work, using oral memory as the main element of the methodology, the aim is to seek, present and endorse the daily struggles, fields of action, resistance and experiences as well as the political struggle that currently self-identified quilombola and indigenous families experience when narrate the usurpation of their territories and the conflict situations triggered by the oil palm farming activities of the company Agropalma S. A., in the Vale do Alto Rio Acará, in the municipality of Acará/PA. Historical evidence and narratives built around ethnic belonging indicate the constitution of specific territorialities, indicators of a collective existence. Oral records use memory to detail facts that imprint material and symbolic forms on the territory, tracing a close relationship between memory, territory and identity, since strong images of places are recorded in these. Even though they present themselves in the present, all these questions are deeply historical and aim to contribute to the studies of regional historiography, in particular, studies on original peoples in the state of Pará.
