Os Desafios e as Expectativas do Apl da Pecuária Leiteira de Mato Grosso

This study has the objective to assess the central actions initiated by local institutions with the APL of Dairy Cattle from Mato Grosso, verifying that they are consistent with the concept and methodology developed by the Research Network Systems and Innovative Clusters and Local (Redesist). Still, it seeks to delimit the areas where the activity has to be specialized and if these sites coincide with the delimitation of territorial arrangement made by Sebrae. For this, we used data from the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) and the Value of Social Information (Rais) to estimate the Normalized Concentration Index (ICN), capable of determining the territorial base that actually has some expertise in that activity. This procedure also revealed that not all municipalities have supported some expertise and that they do not comprise a region, but rather groups of towns scattered throughout the state of Mato Grosso. Added to this, policies triggered by the institutions of government are not considering the consolidation of the APL, in view that the tax incentive and tax exemption does not develop the associative sense, much less the density of the arrangement.
