The agribusiness sectors in Mato Grosso and Mato Grosso do Sul continue to see growth in production and investment. In Mato Grosso do Sul, swine production has increased by approximately 50% over three years, and biodiesel production rose by 32.4% in the first half of 2026. Mato Grosso has reported high productivity, including record second-crop corn production. In Mato Grosso, new debates have emerged regarding the impact of tax incentives. State data shows that total tax benefits granted by the state rose from R$ 3.42 billion in 2019 to R$ 15.6 billion in 2025, reaching a cumulative total of R$ 65.5 billion during that period. Reports indicate that companies linked to a major agribusiness family received R$ 28.5 million in tax benefits between 2019 and 2025, while members of that family made approximately R$ 2.8 million in electoral donations. To support the agricultural community, the MT Produtivo – Development and Sustainability program has opened applications. This initiative involves a total investment of US$ 100 million—comprising US$ 80 million from the World Bank and US$ 20 million from the Mato Grosso government—offering up to R$ 3 million per project for family farming associations and cooperatives across 61 municipalities. ~~This follows previous educational and technical efforts, such as~~ Recent projections from Itaú BBA suggest that the ~~Agrinho 2026 Program~~ corn ethanol industry in Mato Grosso ~~do Sul and the Grain Project~~ may face significant energy requirements, potentially necessitating investments in ~~Roraima, which provides technical assistance~~ eucalyptus cultivation ranging from R$ 7.6 billion to ~~approximately 3,000 indigenous and non-indigenous family farmers.~~ R$ 14.3 billion. To support a projected production of 12 billion liters of corn ethanol by 2030, the state may need to reach 572,000 hectares of planted eucalyptus by 2028, up from 165,000 hectares recorded at the end of last year.
