Dinâmicas territoriais de comunidades rurais extrativistas amazônicas

Abstract

This work makes a analysis of two extractive rural communities in Abaetetuba , in the Baixo Tocantins region from their production strategies, which have the economic base mainly on the extraction of açaí , where the Campompema community has links with cooperative and the Capim community that have his production marked by individualistic strategies for production and marketing. For such done we work to characterize the typical peasant from Amazon, the riverine, and their strategies for production and social reproduction and their territoriality. Mainly due the açai in recent decades have become a product of high commercial value in domestic and foreign markets. The objective of this analysis was to demonstrate that strategies of collective action, especially cooperatives, is an element that can be worked in order to ensure better living conditions for the riverines and regional markets for its mainly açai products, without losing the ties with the land and strengthening their territoriality.
