Abstract

Coffee cultivation has undergone technical-productive transformations in Rondônia, which results from the direct action of public and private institutions responsible for the material and immaterial flow of agricultural production. From the concepts of spatial circuit production and the circle of cooperation we seek to analyze the spatial organization of coffee cultivation, contextualizing the process of technological modernization at the state level. The methodology of the research was carried out with bibliographical systematization and data obtained in field work carried out in the municipality of Cacoal (RO). Therefore, it has been concluded that agricultural transformation indicates the general process of subordination of family agriculture to the capital, creating a coffee psychosphere, with the formation of productive regions, indicating that variables of the national and global market reach the areas of the agricultural frontier.
