Abstract

This article describes the most relevant processes of institutional, organizational, and political change experienced by the sugarcane agro-industrial complex in Brazil, particularly by the groups with greater economic power, concentrated in the state of São Paulo from the 1990s to 2014. These groups shifted from a bureaucratic and state-focused sectoral organization model to a format that was more open, flexible, and diversified in terms of participating actors, but in which the presence and participation of the Brazilian government remained an essential part of the relationship between state power and large-scale sugarcane agriculture.
