Wood Costs and Productivity. The F.O.B. costs for wood in the States of Sao Paulo and Mato Grosso do Sul are as follows ... 

The leading states producing soybeans are located in the Southeast and the Center West regions of the country (Fig. 21.8). Mato Grosso, in the Center-West part of the country, produces almost 16 MMT (17.6 million t), about 70% greater than the number-two state, Parana, and double the number-three state, Rio Grande Do Sul. 

Prices fall, moving from the East to the West in Brazil. The difference between the Center—West with the coastal regions widened over the period to over 2.00/bu (32%) by late 2006. The interior price in central Mato Grosso was on average about 23% or 1.38/bu lower than in the coastal state of Parana (Fig. 21.11). 

The soybean cluster in Mato Grosso was estimated in 2004 to be about 8 billion (Goldsmith et al., 2008). For example, Illinois, a U.S. state with a similar size soybean crop, has a soybean cluster over three times as large, at 25 billion. Soybean production comprises about 11 % of the Illinois cluster that incorporates processing and meat production, while soybean production in Mato Grosso comprises close to 60%. 

The cost of the weak transportation system is borne by the producers in the prices they receive. Most of the difference between the prices received by farmers in the East compared to the farmers in the Center-West is attributed to the high freight costs. The higher costs are not just a function of distance. Goias, a state to the east of Mato Grosso, has superior infrastructure with access to both rail and water transport. Its cost per km is 22% lower than in Mato Grosso because more expensive truck transport is not as prevalent. 

The Amazon port of Manaus mostly depends on barge service via the river Madeira and accounts for 7% of soybean exports grown primarily in the State of Rondonia and western Mato Grosso. 

The state of Parana has 21 crushing plants, representing 15 companies. It is the leading processing state in Brazil with a capacity to produce 28,700 MT/day (31,600 t/day) of soybean meal or 20% of the nation s output (Fig. 21.18). Mato Grosso is a... 

The first studies on goiter prevalence in Brazil were conducted in the states of Sao Paulo, Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro, Mato Grosso, and Parana in the 1930s and 1940s. These studies showed a high incidence of goiter. 

Central-western sites. This group is made up of a huge swathe of about 100 sites running across the states of Mato Grosso do Sul, Mato Grosso, Tocantins and into Para close to the Tocantins border. It is characterized by the presence of many mesotrophic indicator species related to the presence of richer cerrado soils. 

Far-western mesotrophic sites. This is a small set of 10 sites occurring on mesotrophic soils in Rondonia, Mato Grosso do Sul and in the Mato Grosso Pantanal near Pocone. The sites in Rondonia are on the widespread solo chocolate , common in that state and so-named because of the presence of a shallow, mineral-rich, chocolate-brown pan. Clearly the dominant factor in determining the characteristics of this floristic group is the presence of mesotrophic soils.
