Formação dos projetos de agricultura familiar com dendezeiro na Amazônia paraense

The article analyzes the formation of the first oil palm family agriculture project in Brazil, in the city of Moju (PA). For that a literature review was carried out to collect data that has the Arauaí projects as its object, interviews and information on how the area was acquired and about the formation of family agriculture projects. Residents, whether oil palm cultivators or not, were interviewed, as well as characters who are behind the scenes and in the main scene of the project's structuring political actions, whether selecting the area, performing expropriations, indemnities, project presentation and elaboration of integration contracts. The article clarifies the paths and detours of the association between space and politics that made possible the structuring of the pilot project of family agriculture in an area, where until the end of the last century's nineties, there was no oil palm. Since then, oil palm fields have replaced past landscapes. It is this space archeology that the reader will find, showing how companies, local politicians, the State, among others, created the major experience of family agriculture integrated with oil palm in Brazil, which is the Arauaí project
