Abstract

This article is the result of a research on the development of agricultural production in Espera Feliz, MG, around the middle of the 20th century, whose main objective of the study was to identify the agricultural characteristics and the main products grown in the region, designed as a specific result of a historical process of land occupation and use in the Zona da Mata Mineira. The research started from the analysis of statistical data referring to the agricultural production of this municipality to characterize how the socioeconomic development of the municipality based on agriculture occurred, identifying its vocation for a certain agricultural sector. The quantitative data ones were compared with theoretical-methodological references that discuss Agrarian History. The research concluded that the Espera Feliz economy started from the cultivation of coffee as an export product, influencing the local socioeconomic growth, projecting the municipality as a rich producer of specialty coffees.
