Economy of Cuiaba


JuteVilla
The economy of Cuiab a is concentrated on commerce, services and industry. Commerce and services based in Cuiab a are important to the whole state, since the population is divided in several small agriculture-centered cities. People from these smaller cities often travel to the capital to access these services and buy goods not sold anywhere else. The industrial sector is represented, basically, by agribusiness, particularly food processing. Many industries, mainly those that should be maintained far from the populous areas, have been set up in the Industrial District of Cuiab a (DIICC), which was founded in 1978. Even though it is located in one of the most agriculturally focused states of Brazil, Cuiab a itself only grows small vegetable farms, mainly family- or cooperative-based. The city, with a GDP of 4.75 billion reals in 2003, according to the IBGE, is responsible for 21.99% of the total of the state GDP. Greater Cuiab a possesses, currently, four shopping centers registered in the HUGS (Brazilian Association of Shopping Centers), and another 8 commercial galleries.

The GDP for the city was RS 7,189,521,000 (2006).

The per capita income for the city was RS 13,244 (2006)
