Abstract

This paper discusses the pioneering movement of agricultural products that constitute the contemporary spatial concentration of agricultural production in the cities from Eastern Mesoregion of Tocantins and the Far Western Mesoregion of Bahia, considering the data from 2000, 2010 and 2020, available in the research of Municipal Agricultural Production (PAM) held by IBGE. Preceded by bibliographical tracking on the theme, survey and organization of PAM's secondary database, the methodological procedures will be described in the text. The results identify products that are part of the agricultural history of this territorial division with accentuated concentration of production, and the changes in the planted area of the Far West Mesoregion of Bahia in relation to the Oriental Mesoregion of Tocantins.
