POLÍTICAS DE DESENVOLVIMENTO E INDÚSTRIA EM MINAS GERAIS: ANÁLISE DOS DISTRITOS INDUSTRIAIS DE UBERABA-MG

Abstract

The city of Uberaba has stood out as an industrial pole in the interior of the state of Minas Gerais, presenting an important industrial growth since the 1970s, with the expansion of the agricultural frontier and the industrial deconcentration process that occurred in Brazil. In this article, this model of industrialization will be analyzed, which through tax incentives and the offering of infrastructure and land attracted several companies and industries to the municipality, which generated several economic, environmental and social impacts. The municipality of Uberaba today has three industrial districts in operation and a fourth district being implemented. Each of the districts has companies from various segments of industrial activities, such as chemical, alimentary, metallurgical, furniture, etc., with emphasis on the industries related to the production of fertilizers and agricultural inputs, which began to be installed at the end of the decade 1970, making currently the city one of the country's main chemical fertilizer production hubs.
