This performance was mainly driven by agribusiness.<\/p>\n<p>The results of the quarterly balance sheet further consolidate Mato Grosso&#039;s strategic position in the Brazilian economy. This is because, in 2025, the state&#039;s trade surplus reached US$27.57 billion, representing 40.5% of the country&#039;s total trade balance for the period.<\/p>\n<p>The agricultural sector accounted for 43.16% of Brazil&#039;s trade balance, with exports of soybeans, corn, and beef standing out.<\/p>\n<p>According to Imea&#039;s analysis, this result reinforces the importance and centrality of Mato Grosso for sustaining national exports and for the inflow of foreign currency into the national economy.<\/p>\n<div id=\"wzk-formulario-78e4f7f999\"><\/div>\n<p>  <script async>\n  window.wzkWidgetMundoZeroKM.load(\"78e4f7f999\", \"#wzk-formulario-78e4f7f999\", {\n    color: \"#00a99d\",\n    title0km: \"Oferta 0km\",\n    titleForm: \"Preencha seus dados para um Consultor GWM entrar em contato com voc\u00ea!\",\n    isImageMobile: true,\n    fontFamily: '\"Inter\", sans-serif',\n    origin: \"widget-form\",\n    utmSource: \"NO4907\",\n    utmMedium: \"organic\",\n    utmTerm: \"\",\n    utmContent: \"\",\n    utmCampaign: \"78e4f7f999\",\n    colorBackground: \"\" ,\n    textHeader:\"\",\n    colorSpan: \"\",\n    colorTitle: \"\"\n  });\n  <\/script><\/p>\n<p>Maria Muniz, the Regional Development Coordinator at Imea, explains that this scenario demonstrates the sector&#039;s strength in the national context.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe result shows how Mato Grosso continues to be one of the main drivers of Brazilian exports, reinforcing the state&#039;s relevance for sustaining national exports and for the inflow of foreign currency into the Brazilian economy. The performance of Mato Grosso&#039;s agribusiness was crucial to this scenario, driven mainly by exports of soybeans, corn, and beef,\u201d he highlighted.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Job creation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Imea bulletin, published on May 11th, also points to the agribusiness sector&#039;s contribution to job creation in Mato Grosso. Data from the Economic Outlook bulletin shows that the sector maintains a growth rate in the number of formal workers.<\/p>\n<p>By the end of 2025, agribusiness in Mato Grosso accounted for 437,174 formal jobs. In March 2026, the total increased to 444,218 jobs, an increase of 1.61%, equivalent to the creation of 7,044 new positions.<\/p>\n<p>During the same period, the total number of formal jobs in Mato Grosso reached 1,183,553, with agribusiness representing 37.531% of the state&#039;s total jobs.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<h6><em>THE <strong>MM Cereais<\/strong> works with the best grains on the market in the Central West Region and also keeps you up to date with the latest news and analyses on agribusiness.<br \/>\nDon&#039;t forget to follow our social networks.<\/em><\/h6>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.noticiasagricolas.com.br\/noticias\/agronegocio\/420843-agro-impulsiona-mato-grosso-a-lideranca-da-balanca-comercial-brasileira-no-1-quadrimestre.html?utm_source=parceiros&#038;utm_medium=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Access News Source <\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mato Grosso registrou saldo comercial positivo de US$ 11,05 bilh\u00f5es entre janeiro e abril de&hellip;<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":27082,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[90],"tags":[240,239],"class_list":["post-27081","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-centro-oeste","tag-agricultura","tag-agronegocio"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mmcereais.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27081","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mmcereais.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mmcereais.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mmcereais.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mmcereais.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=27081"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mmcereais.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27081\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mmcereais.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/27082"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mmcereais.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27081"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mmcereais.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=27081"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mmcereais.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=27081"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
