Abstract

This study aims to examine the changes in the Brazilian sugar cane agribusiness from the second half of the nineteenth century. We focus on research on the defense of the separation between farming and industry as a way of implementating technical mechanisms that would enable a lower cost production and improve the quality and quantity of sugar cane. The central sugar mill, as the new production facility, was called, come into being in Brazil as a result of low 2687, of 1875. It is important to emphasize the vast literature of this time, by technical, statesmen and producers and the insistence of these authors in the benefits of the separation between agriculture and manufacturing.
