When it comes to Minas Gerais, it is almost impossible not to remember the famous coffee from Minas Gerais served to show all the hospitality of soft-spoken people, but whose flag has the motto of bravery and freedom.
The state has a recognized history in coffee production, breaking export records, and it was taking advantage of the favorable conditions for this type of B2B Lead cultivation that the story of Guaií coffee was born, in the Campo do Meio settlement, south of Minas Gerais. The trajectory of this brand, which could just be a commercial business for many, begins with the occupation by family farmers of the rural property called Fazenda Ariadnópolis . They arrived at the location hoping to make the place a productive area that would be self-sustainable with grain production. Thus, the process of fighting for the expropriation of the area began, which came a year later, in 1997.
Companhia Agropecuária Irmãos Azevedo (Capia), owner of the rural property, was declared bankrupt in 2000, and the liquidator of the bankrupt estate himself acknowledged that, since 1998, several families had installed their masonry houses on the land: planting, harvesting and living off the land . He also assured that the Ariadnópolis Plant had been inactive for more than 12 years and that its industrial park and production machinery had been scrapped [1] .
In agreement, the state of Minas Gerais claimed, at the time it published State Decree 365, of September 25, 2015 [2] , supported by the immutable clause of article 5, sections XXIII and XXIV of the Federal Constitution of 1988 [3] , that clippings of reports showed the presence of farming families on the property for more than 20 years [4] . In the explanatory memorandum of the decree, the presence of more than 300 families living for around 14 years, carrying out agricultural activities under a family economy regime, was reported [5] . This was also confirmed by the National Institute of Colonization and Agrarian Reform (Incra) [6] .
Although divergences can be admitted regarding the initial term of the presence of numerous small squatters on the rural property, whether in 1997, 1998, 2000, 2001, 2004 or any other date, what seems uncontroversial is that hundreds of family farmers exercised ownership, in small plots, for more than five years, uninterruptedly and without opposition from anyone, making it productive for your work or that of your family, having your home there.
The judge of the Court of Justice of Minas Gerais, when granting suspensive effect to the interlocutory appeal filed against the preliminary decision of the TJ-MG Agrarian Court, recalled that: “the factual situation outlined demonstrates that the Defendants/Appellants occupy the rural area for considerable period, approximately 14 years, with the cultivation of coffee crops among others, including built properties in which the respective families reside” [7] . This monocratic decision was confirmed by the 17th Civil Chamber of the TJ-MG at the beginning of July.
