Sumario:Historic birthplace of brazilian agrarian society, the region of Recôncavo of Bahia currently faces a rural development crisis, also taking place in other regions of Bahia and the Northeast of Brazil. The multiplication of very small farms, the adverse markets trends and the recession of the national economy are combined and result in high levels of social fragility, the emptying of the field and the ageing of the rural population. The paper analyzes agricultural mechanisms of this crisis in the tobacco area of the Recôncavo, where is more intense. Surveys carried out at three sites highlight recent demographic, socioeconomic and agroecological trends of this agriculture, and the way they interact. The analysis of the labour productivity of farmers of Cruz das Almas shows the rationality of their choices and the impasse in which they find themselves. The final part of the work shows that public intervention aimed at reversing this situation must include different components, currently fragmented into sectoral policies with varying degrees of intensity, and a mechanism for local and stable governance to ensure consistency and effectiveness in the medium/long term.
