Sumario:This paper analyzes the process of agricultural micro-regional convergence using a threshold effect model for the period from 1970 to 1996. The results show the existence of three clubs of convergence. One formed by the group of richer micro-regions, concentrated in the South and Southeast regions; other formed by the group of poorer micro-regions,located primarily in the Northeast; and a third intermediate group that concentrates the micro-regions of the Center-West and North of Brazil. The results also show that physical capital is more important than human capital to explain the Brazilian agricultural growth process.
