A cadeia produtiva do tabaco como campo de disputas

摘要

The paper analyzes the existing conflicts in the tobacco production chain in Brazil and the strategies historically established by each agent. Therefore, we interpret the tobacco production chain as a field of disputes. As methodological tools we conducted to literature review and semi-structured interviews. Among the results, we found that, in general, the actors in the tobacco field take three types of strategies: 1) the defense of the field; 2) intermediate strategic positions mulling conflicting historical disputes in the field; 3) positions contrary to the tobacco field.
