Abstract

This paper analyzes the spatial changes and the sectoral evolution of the Gross Value of Agricultural Production (VBPA) in the municipalities of Rio Grande do Sul State, Brasil, from 1970 to 2006. The data was collected in the Agricultural Census published by IBGE Institute and they were compared to their intertemporal evolution at the municipal level and sector. The ten agricultural activities with more participation in the VBPA total were analyzed. The results showed that, despite the evolution of 25.91% in total VBPA state in the period from 1970 to 2006, the share of activities in this growth was different. Activities with great participation in VBPA total in 1970, such as wheat and cattle large, lost participation to others who had great growth in that period of time, such as soybeans, tobacco, forestry and permanent crops. The change in the importance of the activities was reflected in changes in the ranking of cities with more participation in VBPA, where the cities that increased their participation were those that specialized in the most dynamic sectors.
