The minerals are the guarantee of the economic prosperity of
Pará. However, passed about 15 years of the beginning of the
exploration of the mineral wealth of the region of Carajás, one
evidences that Pará still did not give the great jump to expand
and to diversify its productive base.
The region of Carajás is part of a selected area of the eastern
Amazônia. In the decade of 70 it was inside of the governmental
planning, in the attempt to make possible the integrated
exploitation of all its potential of wealth.
In 1980, the Program Great Carajás was created. It can be
defined as a global plan of development for the cited area. With
this program, the Federal Government reserved for itself the
responsibility of the execution of the necessary infrastructure
to the viability of the productive economic projects.
However, at the beginning of 80 years Brazil already was
submerged in a crisis that was being aggravated throughout the
decade. One of the consequences of the crisis was the growth of
the external dependence of the Country through the debt and the
necessity of exportations in increasing volume to be able to
liquidate the compromises assumed with international creditor banks.
In years 90, Brazil renegotiated the debt with the external
creditors, reached the monetary stabilization with the Real
Plan and retook the process of economic and social development
with the programs Brazil in Action and Advances Brazil.
In Pará, the Government starts to increase the development with
the retaken one of economic infrastructure workmanships as:
improvement of the road mesh, expansion of the electric net, new
airport of Belém, construction of the dikes of Tucuruí,
duplication of the Hydroelectric of Tucuruí and other actions to
stimulate the development of the State.
With this, is created the possibility of a change of the
productive base of Pará, because some products go to be
industrialized in the State. The Pará will leave a list
eminently of raw material passing , gradually , for another one
of products industrialized. Already existing, therefore , the
possibility of the verticalization of the production.
For the potential of wealth that Pará possesss, it is not
exaggeration to affirm that Pará has all the conditions to be an
important industrial polar region of Brazil, in century 21.
