Abstract

Este estudo teve por objetivo mapear as diferenças de crescimento da área de produção agrícola brasileira nos períodos de 1994 a 2005 e de 1994 a 2010, inclusive com vistas a identificar eventual mudança de perfil no interlúdio 2006-2010. Foram empregados dados da pesquisa de Produção Agrícola Municipal (PAM) e do Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE). Utilizou-se o procedimento de análise de grupamentos para identificar similaridades entre as mesorregiões agrícolas brasileiras. Os resultados evidenciaram um crescimento intenso da área plantada no sentido centro-noroeste do território brasileiro, com diferentes eixos e epicentros de expansão agrícola em relação às tradicionais regiões do Sul e do Sudeste do país. Entretanto, notou-se também um papel destacado, no período recente, de fronteiras agrícolas já teoricamente estabilizadas, como São José do Rio Preto, Alto Paranaíba/Triângulo Mineiro e Norte Central Paranaense. The article aimed at to map the differences to the growth of the Brazilian agricultural area from 1994 to 2005 and from 1994 to 2010, trying to highlight changes related do 2006-2010 period. Data from Municipal Agricultural Production (PAM), of the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) were employed. The Cluster Analysis was used to identify similarities among the Brazilian agricultural mesoregions. Results point to intense growth of agricultural border directed to Center-Northwestern axis of Brazilian space and to different areas of agricultural expansion vis a vis traditional South and Southeast mesoregions’s. Moreover, it must to be noted that a fundamental role was detected in traditional agricultural areas, as São José do Rio Preto, Alto Paranaíba/Triângulo Mineiro, and Norte Central Paranaense.
