Abstract: The focus of this work is to consider the actions taken by the Federal Government in the period of the Primeira República, which helped the progress of the Brazilian agro-export economy, guided by coffee exports. We evaluate the mechanisms and policy for the defense of coffee and discuss in what way they were linked - or not - to the interests of farmers and those exercising power, influence and hegemony over the state. The idea here discussed is that the state intervention process in the economy was engendered by mediations established between the public sector and the various groups living in a context of ideological and political struggle within the ruling classes. By analyzing various contributions - and sometimes conflicting - this article also adds the role and influence exercised international finance capital over the actions and state policies. Thus, we relativize is the influence on the state debate, shifting the axis of analysis not only for groups of national interests, but also those located in the central countries, lenders, ultimately, of the valuation policies.
