Abstract
O estudo procura analisar a importância da produção agrícola do Matopiba, que compreende áreas dos estados do Maranhão, Tocantins, Piauí e Bahia, para o desenvolvimento econômico. A dinâmica econômica agropecuária desta região torna-se central na orientação das decisões dos agentes privados, na promoção do desenvolvimento regional e na formulação de políticas públicas mais adequadas à realidade local. Busca-se questionar se os investimentos mobilizados são de fato sustentáveis e em que medida o agronegócio terá força para liderar o desenvolvimento em estados reconhecidamente pobres e com uma densidade populacional elevada no meio rural. Como hipótese, entende-se que a política agrícola pode ser um importante instrumento para o desenvolvimento local, com redução das desigualdades e com gestão sustentável dos recursos naturais na região. 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 Matopiba 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 sustained, and in what extent agribusiness has the strength to lead developing poor states and with a high population density in rural areas. The hypothesis of this study is understood that agricultural policy can be an important tool for development, reducing inequalities and promoting sustainable management of natural resources in this region.
