Abstract

The article starts from the necessity that understanding the agrarian issue at União da Vitória microregion passes through the actuality of large state concept. Therefore, it’s refuted the ideological burden of the discourse of economic development creator of monoculture boundary, because the capitalist agriculture has generated the land concentration and income in the region, causing poverty and breakdown in the lifestyle. Thus, the text points out some elements of how it is expressed territorially the trees monoculture, revealed at the productive large state, at União da Vitória microregion, and what are its implications to the city and rural population. As a theoretical basis, the analysis and understanding of the agrarian issue passes through the understanding of development of field capitalism, that manifests territorially in a contradictory and combined way. Based on this theoretical perspective, added to preliminary data analysis (presented along this article), it is observed that the capitalist agriculture expressed in the improductive and productive large state (agribusiness), is not a synonym of local and regional development.
