English translation:owner-operated single-crop plantations / family-operated multicrop farms
Explanation:
Your solution looks good to me, except that I would say "-operated." "Owner-operated" is typically used in contrast to sharecropping. However, it's important to add "single-crop plantations," because family farms are owner-operated as well. "Plantations" helps to capture the concept of the "patrono."

Lots of references to ["owner-operated"+"single crop"]:

muito particular do Brasil


Explanation:
Trata-se d eum termo bastante particular - bastante brasileiro.
Já houve váris discussões, inclusive por causa de um texto em francês. Algumas páginas que talvez possam lhe ajudar a encontrar o melhor termo para seu texto.

Encontramos "commercial" farming e também "patronal" farming - mas acho que quase sempre cabe uma explicação do que se trata.
