Resumo

The author, professor Carlos de Castro Botelho, begins his article by presenting the physical agents which condition the regional economy. In the first part of his work he emphasizes the relation between the physical environment and the three economical belts in which the zone that is being studied may be divided: the belt of vegetal extractivism, the cocoa tree itself and that of transition or mixed, as it is locally called (cultivation of the cocoa tree and battle raising).
