The socio-spatial dynamics of capitalist society can be seen from the analysis of the actions engendered by the tradings (very short-term investment modality, consisting in the purchase and sale of highly liquid shares) that are active in agribusiness, and mainly those integrated in the soy culture, that is one of the most notable agents of (re)organization and transformation of the geographic space. This article has the goal to analyze some socio-spatial dynamics that are produced by soy agribusiness in the decade 2010 - 2019, in Pontes e Lacerda municipality, State of Mato Grosso. For the elaboration of the article, the literature review was adopted as a methodological procedure through a bibliographic survey in books, scientific articles, statistical yearbooks (digital and electronic) and course conclusion work. Secondary data that supported the discussions were accessed through the Municipal Agricultural Production (PAM), in the IBGE Automatic Recovery System (SIDRA), that are available on the website of the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics Foundation (IBGE). It was verified in the analysis of the data used that between the first and the last year of the decade 2010 - 2019 in Pontes e Lacerda-MT municipality, related to soy production, there was an expansion of about 250% of the planted area in hectares, an increase of 338% in the quantity produced in tons and for the average yield of production (kilogram ratio per hectare) an increase of 24% was obtained. It was verified that the phenomenon observed in the area covered by the study is the result of the intensification of economic globalization, the specialization of places, regional/national/global disputes and the growing demand for commodity of soy in the international market.
