ABSTRACT
Many efforts have been expended in the understanding of the process of generation of
income of the economies. The economic theory, for much time attributed to the human
work the formation of the value. With the advent of the technology, this it starts to be
only one of the elements to compose the value of the merchandises. This change brings
itself an alteration in the economic development of the societies. In agriculture, these
transformations occur of clear form. Of general form, the primary sector passes for deep
transformations in its productive system with the Agricultural Revolution in the mat of
the economic growth propitiated by the Industrial Revolution. The necessity to take care
of the new demands of consumption took the modernization of the country properties
and to the bloom of the capitalist productive system. In Brazil, this process delayed to
happen, therefore the Portuguese metropolis kept in the colony, during much time the
obsolete feudal model in the Europe. When Brazilian agriculture confrotted with the
competitiveness of the international market the necessity of modernization of the
productive system became urgent. Observing what the keynesiana theory told the
Brazilian state made itself promotional of this economic growth. However, had its great
territorial extension and the form of occupation of the ground, this process wasn t
uniform. In the end of the decade of 1970, the agricultural producers had searched
through the opening of the agricultural borders the necessary competitiveness the
maintenance of the primary activity. In th
is context, it develops agriculture in the region
Center
-West, particularly in the State of Mato Grosso, that until then needed of public
politics. The city of Sorriso/MT starts to receive a great volume from investment in
technology and a great migratory contingent, that take the city to try a growth without
precedents. In this city the agriculture directed to exportation, through the culture of the
soy, obtained high degree of development, however, in this moment it doesn t obtain
more to guaranty that the biggest mass of resources in kept it generated either in the
place. Thus, in the optics only of the economic growth, understood as generation of
income, Sorriso still it corresponds to the expectations, however, in the optics of the
development, understood as improvement of the level of life of the set of the
population, saw best use site of the generated income, the constatação is of an
exhaustion of the model. This equally displays the necessity of if creating projects of
development and sustainable ag
riculture for this region, that take care of the necessity of
income distribution, of preservation of the environment, among others, without the
agriculture practised in this place leaves of being competitive in the international
market.
