Resumo: | The structural changes that have occurred in contemporary capitalism, brought new conditions for the use of territory in Brazil. Consequently, it can be observed the insertion of new agents from the financial sphere, notably investment funds, corporate investors, and high net-worth individuals, who started to participate, directly and indirectly, in the productive processes in various sectors that take place in the Brazilian territory. This process was evaluated in this paper, through the empirical situation of Cosan Group, the main controller of the Brazilian sugar-energy sector (production of sugarcane and sugarcane derivatives). Our analysis was based on secondary data on the agricultural and agro-industrial production of this group, as well as the strategies and characteristics related to the financialization of the company (such as initial public offering, investor behaviour, among others) and financial issues, using information obtained from public and private databases. The analysis of the use of territory by the Cosan Group makes it possible to identify the transformations associated with the insertion of this agent into the current dynamics of financialization of the economy and the inherent territorial implication of this process. The strategies of the use of territory adopted by the Cosan Group, in the current context of financial accumulation, were mainly guided by the need for financial valuation, which occurred fundamentally through the mobilization of public funds and the territorial expansion of productive activities. |

Nesse sentido, observa-se a inserção de novos agentes da esfera financeira, notadamente fundos de investimentos diversos, investidores corporativos e indivíduos de alta renda, que passam a participar, e em grande medida controlar, direta ou indiretamente, processos produtivos dos mais diferentes setores no território brasileiro. Este processo foi por nós avaliado, tomando como situação empírica o Grupo Cosan S.A., principal controlador do setor sucroenergético brasileiro (produção de cana-de-açúcar e derivados), analisada a partir de dados secundários sobre a produção agrícola e agroindustrial do referido grupo, bem como estratégias e características ligadas à financeirização da empresa (abertura de capital, comportamento dos investidores, dentre outras), a partir de informações obtidas em bancos de dados públicos e privados. A análise do uso do território pelo Grupo Cosan permite identificarmos transformações associadas a inserção do referido agente no atual contexto de financeirização da economia global e as implicações territoriais que lhe são inerentes. As estratégias de uso do território praticadas pelo Grupo Cosan, no atual contexto de acumulação financeira, foram pautadas principalmente pela necessidade de valorização financeira, o que ocorreu fundamentalmente pelo acionamento de fundos públicos e pela expansão territorial das atividades produtivas.Universidade Federal de Uberlândia2023-06-12info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/sociedadenatureza/article/view/6817210.14393/SN-v35-2023-68172Sociedade & Natureza; Vol. 35 No. 1 (2023): Sociedade & Natureza; v. 35 n. 1 (2023): 1982-45130103-1570reponame:Sociedade & natureza (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Uberlândia (UFU)instacron:UFUporenghttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/sociedadenatureza/article/view/68172/36178https://seer.ufu.br/index.php/sociedadenatureza/article/view/68172/36179Copyright (c) 2022 Laís Ribeiro Silva, Mirlei Fachini Vicente Pereirahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSilva, Laís RibeiroPereira, Mirlei Fachini Vicente2023-08-25T14:35:58Zoai:ojs.www.seer.ufu.br:article/68172Revistahttp://www.sociedadenatureza.ig.ufu.br/PUBhttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/sociedadenatureza/oai||sociedade.natureza.ufu@gmail.com|| lucianamelo@ufu.br1982-45130103-1570opendoar:2023-08-25T14:35:58Sociedade & natureza (Online) - Universidade Federal de Uberlândia (UFU)false |
