dc.descriptionThis paper focuses on the recent development of smallholders' communities in the Massaroca region of Nordeste, Braziil. The socieconomic impact of extension service interventions and organizational responses of smallholders are discussed. The results of local development projects have highighted some collective benefits for rural communities, i.e. self-reliance, official representation, and access to equpiment; however, they have also revealed an increase in social differentiation amongsst farmers, based on rural credit politics and market integration. The main beneficiaries of these proects are leaders of farmers' organizations, through their empowerment, by which they also try to obtain benefits for their parents and friends in an often biased manner. Criticism of this situation and resulting social conflicts have prompted protest reactions within rural communities. especially form women and young people, with the support of extension agents.
