Rio Verde

Rio Verde encompasses 8,388 square kilometers of land with extensive fields dedicated to grain production, particularly soybeans, corn, and cotton production.

The settlement began in 1838 when the Brazilian government provided tax exemptions to attract new inhabitants, leading to its establishment as a city in 1882.

The municipal educational system supports 32,000 students through multiple institutions, including universities and vocational schools focused on agricultural sciences.

The city maintains nine hospitals, numerous health centers, and a network of medical professionals serving the population of 235,647 residents.

Rio Verde produces 790,000 metric tons of grains annually, making it the largest agricultural center in the state of Goiás.
