Ponta Grossa

Town in the southern state of Paraná, Brazil, 100 km/62 mi northwest of Curitiba; population (1996) 256,302. Ponta Grossa is a major market town and transit centre serving a rich agricultural district. Soya is an especially important cash crop; the area lays claim to producing the largest amount in the world, and Ponta Grossa is known locally as the ‘world capital of soya’.
