Abstract

The increasing profitability of cotton as an alternative to the traditional dependence upon coffee engendered modifications to Vargas’s politically weighted approach toward agriculture. Vargas strengthened federal support for the much-troubled cotton industry in the Northeast, demonstrating a personal interest in its fate to sustain the government’s legitimacy and political control in the politically volatile region that had formed part of his pre-1930 coalition. Despite his strong support for cotton in the Northeast, South-Central Brazil—especially São Paulo—soon became the dominant producer for both domestic and external markets.
