Resumen
Descripción
This article aims to show the diversity of Brazilian agriculture, which is composed
by a highly productive and efficient segment made of corporations, a segment also efficient
and profitable, entrepreneurial family, and a segment of poor family farmers or peasants who
produce for consumption, lives in the establishment, generates jobs for the children, and that
does not migrate because its opportunity cost to migrate is low. The absence of economies of
scale in agriculture, the low profitability of activity according to the low turnover of fixed
capital, the competitive environment of the agricultural market and the risks affecting the
activity (climate, pests and rates), do not cause interest in dominating it by a single sector
producers, and this makes room for peaceful coexistence between heterogeneous rural sectors,
each with its own logic and its own interests and demands.
