- Abstract
This paper aims to characterize the productive dynamic of tobacco culture in Vera Cruz - RS. Has been identified the role of growers in the marketplace, as well as its relationship with the tobacco manufacturing companies. For this purpose, we used an analysis of a quantitative approach; the data were obtained through the application of 22 semi-structured forms consisting of closed and open questions. Thus, it was found that tobacco production in the region occurs through a household production, labor-intensive and structured small farms, while in contrast, the tobacco manufacturing companies constitute an oligopolistic market structure. Having contractual relations occur through the process of integration between tobacco farmer and agribusiness. This scenario makes the tobacco farmer more vulnerable to market shocks and makes it highly dependent on the agro-industrial capital.
