Abstract

This article covers aspects of the captaincy of São Paulo’s economy mainly from 1765, year in which its political autonomy was reestablished. From this very moment, the sugar cane crop was systematically introduced into the captaincy, aiming to develop the local economy. São Paulo had its production characterized by the diversification of farming activities, policy oriented to the supply of military troops and the local population, but also to trade directly with Portugal. To that extent we aim to identify the challenges within the field of São Paulo’s economical history, mainly in what concerns the presence of sugar cane in the paulista agrarian space, that was marked by rural properties with a varied production of supplies.
