The aim of this article is to demonstrate the importance and the operational feasibility of the concepts of the productive spatial circuit and cooperation circles in space, in an historical moment when the spheres of production and exchange become more scattered geographically, making circulation a priority and a strategic acting field of Estates and companies. It seeks to achieve this objective through three steps: 1) elaboration of a theoretical debate based on authors that proposed and sought to develop those concepts; 2) proposition of a distinction between productive spatial circuit and productive chain; 3) a brief analysis of modern agricultural production in agricultural expansion areas in the Brazilian territory in the light of this theory.
