Since 2003, with the approval of the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) at the 56th World Health Assembly, the discussions on tobacco control in Brazil has been intesified up to 2005, when the country ratified the treaty. Upon the ratification, the federal government created diversification program called Diversification of areas cultivated with tobacco National Program. Thus, this study aims to examine how goals and strategies aimed at early FCTC tobacco farming are being translated to Brazil; how these goals influence the strategies of the actors of the productive chain of the tobacco who act nationally; and how disputes between these actors influence this translation. Moreover, we also analyze the one hand, how the operation of this program of diversification is influencing disputes for space between the actors involved in tobacco productive chain and, on the other hand, how these actors influence the operation of such a program . To make this analysis possible, we used the concept of translation developed by Hassenteufel (2005) and the notion of policy networks by Hassenteufel (1995) and Romano (2009). Our main source of research was the semi-structured interviews with leaders of organizations representing the farmers and industry organized nationally, who work in tobacco production chain, with the National Coordination of the Diversification of areas cultivated with tobacco National Program and the Direction of the Executive Secretariat of the National Committee for the Implementation of the FCTC. We also examined documents relating to the ratification of the treaty in question, published by the National Congress, and news from the Ministry of Agrarian Development dealing with the tobacco farming. Thus, it was possible to divide the players that integrate the supply chain of tobacco on two networks, one of which network we called pro-integration of tobacco production and other network antiproductive integration. We observe that these networks, organized in favor of their historical interests, had great influence in how the FCTC has been ratified by Brazil. Futhermore, we note that the FCTC has changed the relationship among actors in the supply chain, leading to the strengthening of anti-network integration. We further note that the actors in such networks are close to different sectors of government and that this approach influences the priority of these sectors before the FCTC goals related to tobacco farming
