Pecuária do estado de Mato Grosso: uma análise insumo-produto

Abstract

Brazil is one of the main countries that contribute to meat production, both for domestic consumption and export, generating employment and income for millions of people. The objective of the work is to analyze the livestock and slaughter activity in the state of Mato Grosso and relate the impacts within the state itself and other economically interrelated states. To this end, an input-output matrix was used that covers 67 sectors in 10 regions, nine states that make up the Legal Amazon and one for the rest of Brazil. This methodology is used by several economists in the country and around the world and through it it is possible to hypothetically extract the livestock and slaughter activity and analyze the negative impacts on the number of jobs, income, Gross Value Produced and Value Added in the state of Mato Grosso and the other states of the country and analyze the relevance of livestock and slaughter in their own sectors and those most indirectly impacted among the 67 sectors involved in the matrix. The results allow us to identify the states most affected by the absence of livestock activity in Mato Grosso and list the main sectors in a ranking of the 10 most impacted sectors to guide public policy decisions for the population in a hypothetical absence of these activities.
