AGROINDUSTRIALIZAÇÃO E DESENVOLVIMENTO REGIONAL NA COSTA LESTE E NO VALE DO IVINHEMA (MS): aplicação de análise fatorial múltipla para a construção de um índice sintético (2010 e 2022)

Abstract

This work examines how agro-industrialization has contributed to regional development in the subregions of Costa Leste (Bolsão) and Vale do Ivinhema, in Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, from 2010 to 2022. A Socioeconomic Agro-industrial Development Index (IDSA) is built from 14 municipal variables grouped into five thematic blocks and synthesized by Multiple Factor Analysis into three global factors. The theoretical framework combines structuralist and neo-developmentalist approaches, highlighting productive transformation, value adding and the role of the State. The findings indicate a strengthening of regional development linked to the expansion of agro-industrial chains and to stronger articulation between agriculture, manufacturing, infrastructure and fiscal capacity. However, territorial asymmetries and low-dynamism areas remain, underscoring the need for public policies aimed at productive deconcentration, social and territorial inclusion, and the improvement of regional infrastructure.
