This paper analyzed the potential for generating formal employment in sugarcane cultivation in the micro-regions of the states of Minas Gerais, São Paulo, Paraná, Mato Grosso do Sul and Goiás (2019 to 2021). The Normalized Concentration Index (NCI) was estimated using the Locational Quotient, the Hirschman-Herfindahl index and the Relative Share index. The construct to verify patterns of concentration or spatial dispersion in the sector was developed using information on formal employment obtained from RAIS. The data shows that in 2019, of the 156 micro-regions surveyed, 38 showed minimal densification, representing 84.58% of the jobs in the sugarcane sector. Of this total, 34 micro-regions were characterized as being specialized (NCI>1). In 2020, 38 micro-regions indicated minimum densification, representing 83.94% of the jobs allocated to the sector, and of these, 34 had an NCI above one, being considered specialized in the employment of labor for sugarcane cultivation. Similarly to previous years, 38 micro-regions showed minimal densification in 2021, which represented 84% of the jobs allocated to the sector, and 34 of these micro-regions were considered specialized, with an NCI above one. The micro-regions with the most specialized agglomeration in the employment of formal labor in the sugarcane sector are in São Paulo state.
