Rondônia and the Fate of Small Producers

In: The Future of Amazonia

Author

  • George Martine

Abstract

The once-prevalent notion that the Amazon region possessed vast riches and that it would provide unlimited opportunities for agricultural expansion has been rather thoroughly discredited by recent events in Brazil. Successive grandiose settlement schemes, whether through government-oriented or privately-owned colonisation projects, or through large-scale capitalistic enterprises, have produced rather dismal results. The one exception to the general disenchantment with the chances for wide-scale development in the Amazon would appear to be Rondônia. This recently-created state seems to have somehow managed to survive the onslaught of migrant hordes and, apparently, emerged as a bustling if not prosperous frontier region.
