Economy

During the period of 1930 to 1950 Bela Vista was famous for its tobacco production and was called the "Tobacco capital of Brazil"". Low international prices caused the gradual abandonment of this crop and today the economy is more diversified with fruit production, milk, and the poultry industry. There is a large herd of cattle—113,620 head in 2006, of which 21,590 were milking cows. It is one of the largest producers of milk in the state and has two milk processing units. There are approximately eight thousand milk producers, of whom 70% are small farmers. Milk production was over 30 million liters a year in 2003. The main employer of the region is Granja Saito, a producer of poultry. Poultry production, besides being the mainstay of the economy, stimulates the local production of corn, soybeans, and wheat.
