Correntina
8.1
High score (8-10) · Your profile
Correntina is a rapidly growing west Bahia city of 45,000 in the MATOPIBA agricultural frontier — the municipality is one of Brazil's leading cotton and soy producers and economic transformation has been dramatic. The influx of agribusiness professionals from South Brazil, Goiás, and Minas Gerais has created a mixed population that is more economically dynamic than its size suggests. New hotels and restaurants have opened to serve the agricultural sector. A foreign man fits into the economic migrant/investor pattern here.
Mid score (6-8)
Correntina has real agricultural wealth and growing infrastructure but the social culture is still very conservative — South Brazilian agricultural migrants bring with them a work-focused, evangelical Christian social ethic. Economic openness doesn't translate easily to social openness.
Lower score (below 6)
Correntina's agribusiness success has been concentrated in the farming community, which is tight-knit and conservative. The social scene is thin and the evangelical church dominates the community's social calendar.
