As a result of this process, one of the vectors that currently stands out in the Brazilian context, by the large investments of national or foreign capital, is the trade of agricultural inputs supplying part of the demand of the primary productive chain for technical-scientific objects, with specifics according to each area and stage of production. It is in this sense that the present research analyzed the trade of agricultural inputs as a vector of expansion of the use of technical-scientific objects in the territory of potiguar, focusing on the agents and processes imbricated to such dynamics in the territory. In order to achieve this objective, we carried out bibliographic research on topics such as agricultural productive consumption, trade and different forms of land use by agriculture, document research and collection and systematization of secondary data in official bodies such as IBGE, MAPA and BACEN, elements that are necessary for a methodological construction on the research of commerce in the perspective of agricultural productive consumption. The analyzes made show that the trade of agricultural inputs in Rio Grande do Norte is configured in a complex and specific way, showing a greater concentration of relations between commercial enterprises of agricultural inputs in the cities and the producers agents in the areas of greater density of agricultural production of the state, favoring those productions based on the use of inputs that follow the same productive logic of the globalized agribusiness, that is, with intensive and extensive use of such inputs.Acesso AbertoComércioInsumos agropecuáriosObjetos técnico-científicosmasterThesisCNPQ::CIENCIAS HUMANAS::GEOGRAFIA
