The burning and the deforestation of the Brazilian Amazon forest, which has been recently highlighted by the international press and occurs mostly on public or undesignated land, calls for an in-depth examination. This has traditionally been the main way to grab land, speculate, and simultaneously prove ownership by its occupation. The absence of mapping, registration, and an effective regulation of land property in Brazil, particularly in the Amazon, plays an important role in its deforestation.

Brazil has, on the one hand, strong institutions in various areas, improved social situation and, on the other, the rural land situation is still very precarious, with basic unresolved questions, such as for example, knowledge of what is public and private land, due to the absence of cadaster. The legislation moved forward in an attempt to link the cadasters of INCRA, the Internal Revenue Service, with information from the Registry of Real Estate with the enactment of Law No. 10,267 / 2001, creating the National Register of Rural Properties – CNIR.

This article shows the case of the cerrado region where because of a lack of clear property rights the land market is completely immobilized.

It started with the land occupation of Piauí's cerrado region and the creation of its land market in the seventies by the State Development Agency (CONDEPI), which sold with symbolic prices very large properties for cattle and fruit production. The small landowners that occupied previously the region based on common rights were sometimes dispossessed.

Apesar do otimismo tanto do Governo como de alguns setores da sociedade brasileira ao afirmar que a reforma agrária através do mercado é uma opção viável e desejável para resolver o problema fundiário e a pobreza rural do país, o presente estudo mostra que persistem diversos problemas para o desenvolvimento do mercado de terras rurais brasileiras. A oferta restritiva, facilitada pela aquisição fraudulenta de terras públicas e pelo poder político que ainda permanece associado à propriedade fundiária, aparece como um dos principais obstáculos para a democratização do acesso à terra.

O estudo sobre o funcionamento do mercado de terras no estado do Rio Grande do Norte pesquisou duas regiões distintas: uma de agricultura tradicional e outra de áreas de fruticultura irrigada.
As falhas de definição no direito de propriedade ou a prática de custo de transações elevadas não induzem a fortes distorções no mercado de terras. O alto grau de concentração de terras ociosas em mãos de grandes proprietários não permite concluir que existe uma alocação adequada desse recurso desde um ponto de vista social.
