EXPANSÃO DA PRODUÇÃO AGRÍCOLA NO MATOPIBA: CONSEQUÊNCIAS PARA A ECONOMIA LOCAL

The executive summary details how agricultural expansion in the MATOPIBA region, particularly within the Cerrado biome, has driven economic growth through increased grain production and higher per capita GDP, while having limited impact on social infrastructure and human capital.

• Between 1995 and 2012, agricultural expansion was highly concentrated in Cerrado municipalities, where the planted area grew by 3.6 percentage points more and the value of agricultural production rose 140% more than in other local areas. This growth was driven by both land expansion and a shift in crop composition from rice to soy.
• The intensification of agriculture in the Cerrado led to a reduction in cattle ranching as farmers replaced pastures with crops.
• Agricultural expansion improved economic performance in Cerrado municipalities between 1999 and 2012, resulting in a 37% increase in agricultural GDP per capita and a 10% increase in the services sector GDP per capita. Consequently, the overall GDP per capita in these municipalities grew 11% more than in municipalities outside the biome, though no similar effect was seen in industrial GDP.
• Economic growth in the Cerrado led to an approximate 10% increase in access to electricity and durable consumer goods such as refrigerators and televisions. However, there were no notable impacts on access to water, sewage, car ownership, local population size, migration within MATOPIBA, or investments in human capital like schools.
