Recent data highlights divergent economic and agricultural trends across Brazilian states. In Mato Grosso do Sul, the cattle herd decreased by 4.3% in 2025, a loss of nearly 800,000 head. This decline was sharper than the national average reduction of 1.7%, which the IBGE attributes to increased slaughter rates, particularly of females, impacting reproductive capacity.

Conversely, Mato Grosso reported significant economic expansion, with a GDP growth of 12.9% in 2025, far exceeding the national average of 2.3%. The state is also seeing positive social indicators, maintaining the second-lowest poverty rate in Brazil at 1.9%. In response to this growth, the Mato Grosso government is considering administrative reorganizations and the integration of artificial intelligence to modernize public management.
