Abstract

The aim of this article is to analyze the cultivation of cannabis in the Vale do Sao Francisco, in north-eastern Brazil, the largest producer in the country. It also seeks to identify the main actors involved in cultivation, their interrelations, and to discuss how cannabis cultivation was established as an alternative to a much needed agricultural policy in the region and hierarchical and authoritarian relations in the local bossism. The cultivation of cannabis is placed in a context in which illicit growth is constituted and institutionalized as a complementary economy to licit cultivation.
