The article performs a critical analysis of the recent trajectory of the commodity boom, focusing on the strategies of construction of economic corridors centered on the dynamics of land expropriation and exploitation of natural resources. We discuss the Nacala Corridor, in Mozambique, the preferred destiny of Brazilian investments in the country (in particular, that of the mining company Vale) and a point of convergence for many projects of international organizations and transnational corporations. We defend a view that the Corridor has operated as a privileged space of articulation and convergence of the interests of different actors, both national and international, highlighting the central role of the Mozambican State. The article demonstrates that investments in logistics megaprojects, in addition to their direct effects in the territory, prepare the ground for the expansion of agribusiness and mineral exploration in an uneven and concentrated dynamic that opens up new frontiers for capital accumulation. In addition, with the article, we intend to build a theoretical framework that dialogues with two field surveys carried out in Mozambique, in the Nacala Corridor (2014 and 2017).Keywords: economic corridors; land; development.KATO, Karina Yoshie Martins.
