SOYBEAN’S FOOTPRINT IN AMAZONIA: PAST AND CURRENT TRENDS / TRAJETÓRIAS DA SOJA NA AMAZÔNIA: TENDÊNCIAS ANTERIORES E ATUAIS

Williams M Castro

Resumo


A soja é a segunda mais importante commoditiy de exportação do Brazil, correspondendo a cerca de 10 por cento das exportações em 2014. Este crescimento é notável dado que há 30 anos atrás a produção brasileira era três vezes menor que a dos Estados Unidos, que até então dominava quase todo o mercado global. A ascensão do Brasil culminou em 2015, ocasião em que o país se tornou o maior exportador e produtor de soja do mundo. O sucesso do Brasil é resultado de uma longa jornada que envolveu reformas na política de exportação, oportunidades de mercado e crescimento da demanda global, especialmente da China. No entanto, paralelo ao crescimento das exportações, aumentou também a preocupação com relação aos seus impactos ambientais associados à proliferação da atividade dentro bioma amazônico. Este avanço sobre a maior Floresta tropical do mundo é também surpreendente porque a cultivo de soja até pouco tempo era limitado às regiões de clima temperado. Neste artigo eu analiso a trajetória do desenvolvimento da agricultura de soja no Brasil, como ela se deslocou para o norte e os impactos sociais e ambientais observados na região central da Amazônia.
