Portos do agronegócio e produção territorial da cidade de Itaituba, na Amazônia Paraense

Abstract

In the first decade of the 21st century, Brazil was one of the main countries in the world with significant canalizations (destinations) of foreign and speculative investments, mainly linked to agribusiness, and which penetrated several regions of the national territory. The Amazon was one of the regions that most received these "investments", impressed as a hegemonic political project of agribusiness development, of building of a space of agricultural expansion and territorial fluidity. The West of Pará State constitutes one of the spaces for the materialization of this hegemonic scalar policy, with planning and construction of infrastructure projects, whose port complexes are the largest materialized sources. Therefore, the objective of this article is to analyze the territorialization of agribusiness and the territorial transformations resulting from the production of the port complexes in the municipality and in the city of Itaituba, West of Pará State, from the years of 2013.
