A importância do território MATOPIBA com relação as exportações de soja na parceria comercial entre Brasil e China (2012-2022)

Abstract

The main objective of this study is to analyze the increase in soybean exports between 2012 and 2022, with an emphasis on MATOPIBA. To achieve this, the research set out to investigate the public policies, investments in infrastructure and technology, export analysis, as well as trade relations between Brazil and China that have driven this growth. The methodology employed in this study was based on a qualitative-quantitative research approach of a basic nature, in which an inductive and exploratory method was applied to analyze the data and information collected. The results revealed a significant expansion of the soybean cultivation area in MATOPIBA, influenced by its strategic location, favorable climate and investments in infrastructure, directly contributing to the increase in soybean exports to China. As a result, it is clear that MATOPIBA has played a crucial role in supplying China's growing demands for soybeans and has strengthened the commercial partnership between the two countries. These conclusions indicate the importance of public policies and investments to sustain this growth.
