Survey examines wealth generation in municipalities through agricultural exports.

A survey by the National Confederation of Municipalities (CNM) reveals that, in May, 1,496 Brazilian municipalities registered agricultural exports, an annual expansion of 2.3%, generating employment and income directly in local economies. Among the main municipalities, Rio Verde (GO) stands out with US$ 300.8 million, mainly from the export of soybeans. The state of Mato Grosso registered US$ 3.14 billion in exports in May, representing 19.6% of the total exported by Brazilian agriculture. Mato Grosso's result comes from a concentrated base in 80 exporting municipalities, which participated in the shipment of 40 different agricultural products. São Paulo registered US$ 2.32 billion in exports in May, equivalent to 14.5% of the national total. Although it showed a slight decrease of 2.7% in the year-to-date total (reaching US$ 10.85 billion), São Paulo's agribusiness stands out for its diversification, with 323 municipalities registering shipments in the month, trading 317 different agricultural products.
