This paper presents the productive dynamics of the municipalities of the Centro-Norte of Brazil in the first decades of the 21st century. The Location Quotient (QL) was created and the values were compared with the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of each municipality. For this purpose, secondary data were obtained from the Ministério do Trabalho e Emprego (MTE), in the Relação Anual de Informações Sociais (RAIS) database. It was observed that the municipalities that operate in the mining sector had higher GDP values, Parauapebas and Canaã dos Carajás, in Pará. Most municipalities in the Centro-Norte had high QL values for the public administration. The branch of activity with the greatest expression in is agriculture. Therefore, it is suggested that future studies be carried out in the North Center with the objective of identifying regional disparities more clearly and proposing more incisive public policies for residents, considering their role steakholders.
Keywords: agricultural frontier; public policies; regional development; productive specialization.
