IBGE

The Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) is the principal provider of statistical, geographical, cartographical, and environmental information in Brazil. Established as a federal public foundation, its mission is to produce and disseminate fundamental data for the country's knowledge and exercise of citizenship.

The institute conducts comprehensive national censuses, including demographic and agricultural surveys, alongside regular economic and social research. It also develops and maintains the national cartographic and geodetic system, providing essential geospatial data and maps that underpin various public and private sector activities.

IBGE's extensive data collection and analysis support government planning, academic research, and public understanding of Brazil's complex socio-economic and environmental landscape. The information provided is crucial for the formulation of public policies and the development of the nation.
