Therefore, this study aimed to comprehend the factors that contributed to and conditioned the shape of the market structure of Acacia mearnsii De Wild in Rio Grande do Sul, as well as understand the different roles of agents and institutions in the social construction of this market. This work specifically intended: identify agents that compose the market for Acacia mearnsii and their roles; map the network of relationships of the agents in the market; understand the effect of social, technical, economic and political aspects in the development of market of Acacia mearnsii in Rio Grande do Sul. For this was selected the New Economic Sociology (NES) as the theoretical basis. Pierre Bordieu was the main visited author, due of his theory of fields and capital, and for understand that the action of agents is conditioned by the existent structure and the structure is conditioned by the habitus of agents.
