SUMMARY:

Discussions about the importance of the modernization process of Brazilian agriculture in rural development have been gaining strength over the years. Although advances in the process of agricultural modernization in the country are perceived, many regions evolve more slowly, putting pressure on their natural resources, as is the example of the state of Pará. While in the state of Pará, in 2017, 68, 25% of agricultural establishments had access to electricity, a good used strategically in the modernization process, in the country this percentage reaches 83.12%, and in the state of São Paulo, it reaches 88.05% of rural establishments. Thus, given the importance that the changes are linked to the modernization of the territory, more specifically the productive structure of the countryside, this research aims to present a diagnosis of the level of modernization of agriculture in the microregions of Pará, estimating the Agricultural Modernization Index and its determining factors in the period from 1990 to 2019, also evaluating the evolution of the sources of growth and specialization of the main crops in the State of Pará. In the development of the research, data on agricultural production were used, allowing the evaluation of production growth rates, harvested area and yield, in addition to data obtained from the 1995/1996, 2006 and 2017 Agricultural Census of the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), to build an econometric multiple linear regression model analyzing the influence of production factors on the performance of agriculture in the region. The results pointed to a recomposition in the agricultural exploration system of Pará, both of temporary and permanent cultures, where in the first evaluation period, the twenty-two micro-regions were classified with low technological level and in the last analysis, only five continued at this level. Analyzes over time show that production fluctuations in the early 1990s were mainly associated with the expansion of cultivated areas, in contrast to the current scenario, where fluctuations are also greatly influenced by increased productivity. Despite the advances that have already taken place in the modernization of some sectors of agriculture in Pará, it is still evident that there is a considerable discrepancy in the technological level between some microregions. Due to this, increased attention must be paid to public policies, technical assistance and technological innovations. , related to agricultural modernization in the Amazon, with a view to reducing technological distance.
