Description:	This study analyzes the beef production network (nodes connected by links) in the Pantanal-Cerrado ecotone using cattle transit data (GTA) from 2022–2024, focusing on Guia Lopes da Laguna (MS) as a central hub. Network analysis (Gephi software) revealed a clear directional flow across production phases (reproduction→fattening→slaughter), with Guia Lopes da Laguna serving as the primary convergence point. The expanding network (59 nodes, 95 links by 2024) demonstrates interstate connectivity (GO, MG, MT, SP, RO, BA), highlighting regional integration. Despite data limitations (a single municipality over only two years), key findings include the hub’s dominance in slaughter processes and emerging circularity in supply chains. These insights support traceability (e.g., AgriTrace) assisted by Embrapa’s BovTrace API, and sustainable beef policies (e.g., PROAPE) by targeting critical production chain issues towards sustainable and certified, high-quality beef production.
