RESUMO:

The present research analyzes the participation of foreign capital in the coffee production in the southern region of Minas Gerais at the present time. More specifically, it analyzes the ways of controlling and extracting land income by the foreign capital in the region. It is known that the internationalization of the Brazilian coffee production is not new. Since the beginning of coffee cultivation, it has been part of the coffee's global network production. However, there are news regarding the global and national coffee market configurations, which are manifested in Minas – the main coffee producing state of the country – and in its southern region in particular – the main of the five coffee producing regions of the state. The recent changes are related to the expansion of the world coffee market; the diversification of the forms of consumption of the grain (roasted beans, powder, instant, capsules); the recent valorization of so-called special coffees; the increasing incorporation of technologies in production; the concentration of the market and the dominance of large multinational corporations. They also respond to changes in the coffee sector regulation system, as well as in the capitalist regulation in general, in which we emphasize the aspect of the financialization. The confluence of crises – economic, climate, food, water, energy – on the start of the century brought back political, economic, social and academic interest in the theme of land. Dute to it, emerged discussions related to land market heating-up and the so-called land grabbing. Interacting with this field of research, this research aims to discuss the extent to which the case of southern Minas Gerais is part of that global movement, considering the singularities of coffee, of the actors network involved, and of the land occupation and productive structure of the region.
