According to data from INDEA (Mato Grosso Agricultural Defense Institute), the most significant annual increases were in the Northeast region, by 5.44%, followed by the Middle North region with 3.32% in the same comparison. Although this region has the smallest squad in the state, this reality could be linked to the expansion of confinement over the past year.
