What Instituto Mato-grossense de Economia Agropecuária does

Instituto Mato-grossense de Economia Agropecuária (IMEA) is a private non-profit agricultural economics research institute founded in 1998 and restructured in 2008, headquartered in the Edifício Famato in Cuiabá, Mato Grosso, Brazil. It operates within the Famato system under five maintaining entities (Famato, ACRIMAT, AMPA, APROSOJA, and APROSMAT) and functions as the state-level reference source for agribusiness economic intelligence in Mato Grosso. IMEA serves producer federations and associations, universities, government bodies, financial institutions, cooperatives, and consultancies with a combination of standardized market reports, custom research, and interactive data tools.

IMEA's core technology is a proprietary data collection, processing, and analysis system covering more than 300 agricultural economic indicators at micro-regional granularity across Mato Grosso. The product portfolio spans periodic market bulletins (Boletins), production cost reports using COE/COT/CT methodologies for soybeans, corn, cotton, cattle, and milk, unified crop estimates and supply-and-demand balance sheets, commercialization, harvest, sowing, and funding reports, livestock-specific reports (slaughter, feedlot, male stocks, raw milk index), daily price indicators, interactive dashboards, historical series, and a publication calendar. A custom studies service delivers tailored micro-regional diagnostics, profitability reports, and specialized outlooks to enterprise clients.

IMEA's business model is non-commercial: it is funded by its maintaining entities and does not pursue revenue maximization. Distribution is multi-channel, including a free public website (imea.com.br) for indicators and reports, a subscriber portal (portal.imea.com.br) for historical data, social media channels (Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, WhatsApp), the IMEA em Campo live event series, and direct delivery of studies to maintaining entities and custom-study clients. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, and the institute is GPTW certified for workplace culture.
