This work aimed to analyze the alterations to the space appropriation process in the Lower São Francisco / SE in the “Platô de Neópolis” under the model of capitalist modernization and the state's role during, and after, their implementation of the Project of irrigated fruit “Platô de Neópolis”. For the development of our analysis we use the method of dialectical interpretation of historical materialism, which identified the contradictions of the capitalist modernization model and the State's role during and after the implementation of the Project. Our studies revealed that in recent decades there has been a clear appropriation of the territory by the capital of family production units through alliance with the state, which direct it public policies in the field in favor of big business. In this context, we can highlight the Fruit Farming Project Irrigated “Platô de Neópolis”, living example of a development policy geared to the interests of capital in which the traditional crops of the region were gradually dying out to house the selection of targeted crops to market, with high technology and specialized services. Currently the Plateau directs its irrigated area to agribusiness service, the return of planting sugar cane, now produced in areas intended for irrigation of fruits. Our research concluded that the irrigated agricultural model did not aim, as the government speech, resolve, stop or even lessen the social problems in the field to combat poverty, but rather, to ensure the expanded reproduction of capital. Faced with the reality found is clear that the irrigation model adopted in the Lower São Francisco, in “Platô de Neópolis” reflects the strategic policies modeled on interests that are characterized by being exclusive, in other words, they leave out the majority of workers and where poverty continues unwavering without changing its historical mark of the exploitation stay.
