Abstract

The present study analyses the insertion of the spatial productive circuit of cellulose in Eunápolis, situated in the extreme south of Bahia state, with the installation of the Veracel Celulose enterprise. Result of a joint venture between Aracruz Celulose and the Scandinavian company Stora Enso, Veracel Celulose is one of the largest industrial plants of the world circuit of cellulose. Its forest area, of approximately a hundred thousand reforested hectares, spreads over ten municipalities of the region. The research shows that land concentration increase, caused by the intensive land purchasing carried out by the company, and the large contingent of migrants attracted to Eunápolis because of its installation, are not compensated by jobs offered and tributes paid by Veracel. So, this large cellulose venture brought little social and economic gains for people living in the region. As a conclusion, we can say that regional development speech still do not consider the inequalities previously imprinted in the territory, on the contrary, it have only deepened them. (AU)
