ABSTRACT
Some Brazilian authors that utilize a Marxist approach, have insisted on the unfeasibility of private capitalist production. The premises of this thesis are: 1) the existent difference into the agriculture process of production between the labor time and the production time and 2) the hypothetical lower rate of profit of capitalist agriculture. This article tries to show that these premises are false once the process of production was changed so much by the modem agriculture that it has become very similar to the industry.
