Gastronomic initiatives in Mato Grosso have focused on supporting local businesses and promoting regional products. In mid-September, the Nobres Gastronomy Festival, organized by Sebrae/MT and the local government, attracted approximately 2,000 people to support small enterprises and enhance tourism through gastronomy and handicrafts.

Following this, the ‘Rota da Carne’ (Meat Route) initiative was launched by the Instituto Mato-grossense da Carne (Imac). Running through October, the program connects 28 restaurants across various cities, including Cuiabá and Nobres, to showcase the versatility of local beef through a specialized gastronomic map.
