, the development and historical evolution, as the contexts which this culture passed by during the changes in the periods from 1950 to 2010. Since the beginning of the 20 th century, the South-Central region started promoting dynamics in Brazilian development and, in a short time, it became the most important internal market costumer of sugar and also a processor of harvest cane. Continuing at this point, we have the Second World War and the petrol crisis in the 70s, causing institutional changes, as PRÓALCOOL, Planalsucar and PRO-OESTE building an institutional environment of incentives that impact the distribution of the culture cane in the middle regions of the state. However, there was the substitution of other agriculture cultures in the state, and the consequent decreasing or, in higher degree the increasing, talking about middle regions and cities. Besides that, the system increased their production based on greater frequency for increasing on the area (Contribution for the area), indicating the extensive plantation nature. However, when the period is observed at large is noticed the Contribution of the yields, showing the upgrade role in promoting not only the productivity, but also the better adaptation of this culture in areas that started showing up after the 50s.

Sustainable agricultural development is an important factor in ensuring the national security of any state, and assessing the effectiveness of government regulation is one of the elements of agrarian policy. A research of the problems inherent in the modern stage of government regulation of the agricultural sector, as well as the possibilities of solving them through international cooperation between universities of different countries. In carrying out the research, both general scientific and special methods of scientific knowledge were used: scientific abstraction, dialectics, induction and deduction, analysis and synthesis, detailing and generalization, system, comparative, statistical and factor analysis, economic and mathematical modeling. The analysis of approaches to state support for the agricultural sector in different countries confirmed its objective need and importance for the sustainable development of the economy. A model is proposed with the help of which it is possible to assess the effectiveness of agrarian policy by managing the development of the support subject through the ratio of extensive and/or intensive factors. It was concluded that such an approach could be used to optimize the funds allocated for state support in the framework of regional programs. A conclusion was drawn on the need and possibility of international cooperation of regional universities for joint research to ensure the sustainable development of the territories.
