SOUTHERN MINAS
The South of Minas is the main agricultural producing region
in the state, contributing more than 20% to the generation of
the GDP of this sector in Minas Gerais. Coffee production is the
most important agricultural activity. The region is responsible
for about 25% of all Brazilian production of this commodity.
The region benefits from being located between the three
main Brazilian metropolises. This factinfluences the economy,
which is polarized by the São Paulo megalopolis (RMSP), but
which also receives stimuli from the metropolitan regions of
Rio de Janeiro (RMRJ) and Belo Horizonte (MRBH).
TRIÂNGULO MINEIRO
The Triângulo Mineiro region stands out for being the largest
producer of cereals in the state and has great strength in the
sugar and alcohol sector, processing most of the state's sugar
and alcohol production. In addition, the Triângulo has the largest
cattle herd in the state and the second-largest coffee harvest.
The main production hub of phosphate fertilizers in Brazil is also
located in the Triângulo, especially in Uberaba. The company
Mosaic is in charge of the production, which operates both in
Uberaba and in Tapira, Patrocínio, and Araxá.
The city of Uberlândia is home to important wholesalers, which
are among the largest in Brazil, such as Martins, União, and
Peixoto. It is the largest logistics center in the interior of the
country due to its central geographic position among the main
producing and consuming centers.
