Abstract

Especially in the last two decades the agricultural production in the State of Mato Grosso has undergone a great evolution, having transformed the state into the largest national grain producer with emphasis on soy, corn, cotton and sunflower crops. As agricultural production grew, a close relationship was found between agribusiness and cities. For these reasons this article’s objective is to demonstrate the recent agricultural production dynamics in the State of Mato Grosso and the relationship between agribusiness and cities. Methodologically the article was constructed through bibliographic review, data collection and fieldwork. As main results, it can be said that the agricultural potential of Mato Grosso increased greatly due incentives of the State policies and the favorable edaphoclimatic conditions that Mato Grosso lands offer. In the relationship between agribusiness and cities it is possible to affirm that the old overlap or submission of one to the other can not be applied to this scenario since was identified a complementary relationship between agribusiness and cities.
