Paraná, Goiás, and Mato Grosso Are the States That Expanded the Most with Agribusiness and Job Generation

The agribusiness sector, while not a major job creator like the business and services industries, is a sector that drives the municipalities in the countryside of the country, in the economy and in the generation of new jobs. The three states that expanded the most in the sector were Paraná, Goiás, and Mato Grosso.

Fabio Bentes, Chief Economist of the National Confederation of Trade in Goods, Services, and Tourism (CNC), conducted a study among the 100 cities that created the most formal jobs this year up to September; 26 are located in three states, and these two states also increased agricultural income in the 2019/2020 harvest.

First, there are 11 cities in Paraná, followed by Goiás with 9 and Mato Grosso with 6 municipalities. It is important to highlight that, according to a study by MacroSector Consultores, Paraná is the state with the highest increase in cereal revenue this year (53.8%), followed by Goiás (36.3%) and Mato Grosso (33.2%).

To reach this result, Bentes considered the number of official employees in each city through the “Annual List of Social Information” from the Ministry of Economy, and compared this information with the microdata from the “General Employment and Unemployment Register” up to September. These three states accounted for 14% of the country’s full-time workers, and this proportion increased to 26% of the 100 cities with the most jobs this year.

Fábio also shows that there is no capital in the 100 most dynamic cities in the activities of the sector, “This reveals that the Brazilian economy, today, depends more than ever on agribusiness to avoid an even worse performance.”
