Mato Grosso is home to 406 farms that are ready for cattle export to the European Union, as they have been identified individually through the Brazilian System of Individual Identification of Cattle and Buffaloes (Sisbov). The state hosts approximately a third of these farms, making it the largest holder in Brazil. The majority of the cattle in these farms are Nellore or crosses with the breed. The export process requires the farms to pass a certification and qualification audit, which is overseen by the Agricultural Defense Institute of Mato Grosso (Indea) and the Official Veterinary Service (SVO).
