Abstract

The study seeks to analyze the importance of agricultural production in Matopiba, comprising areas in the states of Maranhão, Tocantins, Piauí and Bahia, for economic development. The agricultural economic dynamics of this region becomes central in guiding the decisions of private actors in promoting regional development and the most appropriate formulation of public policies to local realities. The scientific problem here is to question whether the investments mobilized are in fact sustainable, and in what extent agribusiness has the strength to lead the development of poor states with high population density in rural areas. As an hypothesis, it is understood that agricultural policy can be an important tool for local development, reducing inequalities and promoting sustainable management of natural resources in this region.
