Resumo
This work had as its object of study the Carlos Marighella Settlement in Poxoréu/MT. In this
place, the cultivation of cassava and its processing into flour represents a means to guarantee
the families' income and survival. The production of cassava and flour in this settlement has a
productive organizational structure based on family farming. This type of agriculture has
developed and expanded in Mato Grosso, mainly in rural settlements. Small agricultural
producers who develop family farming produce most of the staple foods that reach Brazilians'
tables. Among the various foods that are produced by family farming in rural settlements is
cassava, which is a food commonly found in various rural settlements such as Carlos
Marighella. The cassava that is produced in the Carlos Marighella Settlement has enormous
economic importance for small agricultural producers in that area, as it has been, in most cases,
the only source of income and survival for the settlers. In this settlement several agricultural
activities are developed and each of these activities has its respective spatial production circuits.
In this research, we chose to study the spatial circuit of cassava production in the Carlos
Marighella Settlement, given that some aspects of this circuit lack a better scientific
understanding. The aspects from which the problem was developed are related to the instances
of cassava production in its territorial dimension, to the production itself, as well as to the
characteristics of its circulation and consumption process. The main objective of the work is to
understand the spatial circuit, the cassava producers of the Carlos Marighella Settlement,
located in Poxoréu/MT, and its consumers at the Vila Aurora open market, in
Rondonópolis/MT. The methodology used for the development of this work is based on
bibliographical research, survey and analysis of secondary statistical data and field research.
The results obtained in this study reveal that the cassava producers in the Carlos Marighella
Settlement are small, low-income family agricultural producers, who produce cassava in a
rudimentary way and mainly use private vehicles to transport cassava and flour to open markets
from the region or to other trading centers. As for the consumption of cassava, it was found that
the main consumers of this product and its derivatives are the poorest portion of the population,
which has low income.
