Abstract

Amapá is the state with the lowest percentage share of the primary sector in the composition of its state GDP. In the period of the then Federal Territory of Amapá (1943-1988), the primary sector was characterized by extraction and silviculture. The State has a savanna area of approximately 1,000,000 hectares, of which, it is estimated that 400,000 hectares can be considered potentially conducive to agriculture. As of 2013, rural producers entered the market due to the expansion of soy production in Amazonia. Eight years after the beginning of this process, the year 2021 appears to represent the greatest challenge for the continuation of activities, due to the deepening of the land and environmental imbroglio that involves the sector, with administrative, legal, and police developments. Most rural producers do not have an environmental license that authorizes them to carry out the preparations for the beginning of cultivation. Thus, this year’s production is seriously compromised. There is a context of legal uncertainty, which consolidates the environment of uncertainties detrimental to the development of production. This article aims to analyze the causes of the plastering situation in the sector, as well as to explore possible scenarios arising from this context.
