The sugarcane in the municipality of Capinópolis (MG) and the socio-territorial (re)arrangement

Abstract

This article is part of the dissertation results and aims to understand the transformations socioespaciais in the municipality of Capinópolis (MG) due to the territorialisation of the sugarcane agroindustry Vale do Paranaíba. In this order, we want to understand the social effects on the lives of workers who migrate in the Northeast region of the country to the municipality of Capinópolis (MG) to the activity of cane cutting. The methodology was based on theoretical review of the authors that discuss the subject of sugarcane and migration, in addition to the documentary search through websites of IBGE, SIAMIG, Capinópolis (MG) and the field research that gave us the scale of the issue here raised. Then, tabs were made of the research data and turned into charts, tables and pictures. We realize that dozens of workers have lost their jobs and were forced to carry out other activities in order to survive.
