Desenvolvimento industrial em Mato Grosso : uma análise a partir das relações com a produção primária (2010-2020)

Abstract

In the economy of Mato Grosso, particularly in the post-2000 period, the prominence of agribusiness production is notable, especially due to the role of commodity exports such as soybeans, corn, cotton, and meats. The dynamics of primary production linked to these commodities have advanced and characterized the development of the state's primary sector and the predominance of this production in the export agenda. This development has been able to drive the industrial transformation of this primary production, albeit with some limitations. The research analyzed the connections between primary production and industry and identified sectors in development based on the expansion of primary exports from 2010 to 2020. The state has managed to find industrial opportunities in sectors unrelated to commodity production, promoting the expansion of productive relationships and the development of intra-sectoral links. The integration between the commodity sectors and the industry is evident in the movement from plant protein to animal protein transformation, strengthening intra-sectoral links in the grains and meats sector. This integration increases the productivity of commodities and reorganizes the production structure, demanding other activities. Other industrial sectors, such as corn ethanol agribusiness, have also benefited from the relationship between primary production and industry, contributing to the expansion of the biofuels market in the state.
