Abstract: This article aims at presenting the expansion process of grains agribusiness in the regions of cerrado (the Brazilian savannas). The study analyses the modalities of economic and land concentration performed by this sector, driving particular attention to transnational companies (tradings) (oriented to the creation of a technological standard which favors the large agricultural organizations and the use of sophisticated agricultural implements and machines); the State support in access to capital (rural funding and renegotiation of debts held by the large producers in Brazilian agriculture); conditions of access to land, etc. The article also analyses the impact caused by expansion and land and economic concentration derived from agribusiness over the cerrado, also, the land price, new conflicts generated and, in a broader sense, the capacity of reproduction of family-run agriculture
