 Transformações agrárias em Mato Grosso (Brasil): um olhar a partir dos Censos Agropecuários (1940-2006)Valdemar João Wesz Junior
Historia Agraria. Revista de Agricultura e Historia Rural, 2017, issue 72, 167-194 Abstract: The aim of this article is to analyze the agricultural transformations that occurred in Mato Grosso, particularly in the period that spans from 1940 to 2006. A literature review and an analysis of the agricultural census statistics available between the dates indicated show the effects that a wide range of public policies had in rural areas of Mato Grosso. These include a sharp increase in the number of farms, the expansion of land usage, increased crop and grazing areas, along with changes in key crops and the introduction of a new production model. Despite these transformations, the state of Mato Grosso -located in the Midwest region of Brazil and currently a major domestic agricultural producer- still exhibits a strong concentration of land ownership.
