From: Socioeconomic and environmental effects of soybean production in metacoupled systems
Conceptualization of the telecoupled system, with soybean trade as the major flow. Telecoupling is conceptualized as the flow of soybean between Mato Grosso, Brazil and major international markets (China and the European Union), as well as domestic markets (other states) within Brazil. In 2018 ca. 56% of the state’s total soybean produced went to China and the European Union. In exchange, Mato Grosso received flows of capital and information. Maps were created by the Authors using the software QGIS 3.16.3 (https://qgis.org/en/site/).
