Resumo: | This article aims to highlight the directions, challenges and perspectives arising from the public irrigation policy adopted through the National Irrigation Strategy (ENI) for the agrarian space of the irrigated perimeter of Chókwé – Mozambique. For this purpose, the socioeconomic advances and challenges faced by small agricultural producers and their efforts to remain in this changing territory were analyzed. We start with some hypotheses, highlighting i), processes of deterritorialization of small producers and consequent replacement by medium and large producers, capable of bearing the investments demanded by these policies; ii). Dispossession and expropriation of territories and increased marginalization of labor in the perimeters; and, iii) precariousness of work with the transformation of small producers into informal, seasonal and dispossessed workers in their workforce and knowledge of those spaces. This study was possible through: i), bibliographical survey and official documents that gave subsidies for a first reflection on the trajectory of irrigation policies; ii). Application of field observation techniques and respective records, including iconographic ones, updating revised secondary information on the appropriate scale; and, iii), application of semi-structured questionnaires, seeking to combine qualitative and quantitative data that illustrate the dynamics of irrigation policy actions in the study area. The results show discrepancies between what is socially advertised as benefits for those who have been historically settled in that territory. There is a worsening of the survival crisis for small producers without material conditions to access the "supposed benefits", they are dispossessed and or urged to marginalize in the production and reproduction process of life through the precariousness of their survival as "invisible workers" of agro-industrial systems. |

Para esse proposito foram analisados os avanços e desafios socioeconômicos enfrentados pelos pequenos produtores agrícolas e os seus esforços para permanência nesse território em transformação. Parte-se de algumas hipóteses, destacando-se i) processos de desterritorialização dos pequenos produtores e consequente substituição por médios e grandes produtores capazes de arcar com os investimentos demandados por essas politicas; ii) despossessão e expropriação de territórios e aumento da marginalização da mão-de-obra nos perímetros; e, iii) precarização do trabalho com a transformação de pequenos produtores em trabalhadores informais, sazonais e espoliados em sua força de trabalho e conhecimento sobre aqueles espaços. A realização deste estudo foi possível através de: i) levantamento bibliográfico e de documentos oficiais que deram subsídios para uma primeira reflexão sobre a trajetória das politicas de irrigação; ii) aplicação de técnicas de observação de campo e respectivos registros, inclusive iconográfico, atualizando informações secundarias revisadas e na escala adequada; e, iii) aplicação de questionários semiestruturados, buscando combinar dados de cunho quali-quantitativo que ilustram a dinâmica das ações da politica de irrigação na área de estudo. Os resultados mostram discrepâncias entre o socialmente anunciado como benefícios para os historicamente assentados naquele território. Efetivamente se registam agravamentos de crise de sobrevivência para os pequenos produtores sem condições materiais de acesso aos “supostos benefícios”, são despossessionados e ou instados a marginalização no processo de produção e reprodução da vida através da precarização da sua sobrevivência como “operários invisíveis” de sistemas agroindustriais, nas melhores das hipóteses.
