The Latin American Integration Route (RILA), or bioceanic corridor, is a project aiming to integrate Mato Grosso do Sul (MS) with the Ports of Northern Chile. The city of Porto Murtinho (MS), located on the banks of the Paraguay River, is where a bridge is being built to connect this city to the municipality of Carmelo Peralta, in Paraguay. The challenge is that this corridor is not only a catalyst for development, expanding its benefits beyond the already consolidated export sectors, but that it also opens up opportunities for the promotion of intra-regional trade, tourism, culture, education, in line with the objectives of the Sustainable Development Goals, SDG. This article aims to discuss the RILA in view of the UN 2030 Agenda, from a debate on the concept of development. This is a qualitative study, conducted in the SciELO database and in documents from ECLAC, IPEA, among others. Bardin's content analysis methodology was adopted for data discussion. It is concluded that the development promised by Brazilian governments with RILA must be an inclusive and sustainable development to bring prosperity and peace to everyone and not just to grain, cellulose, and meat exporters. And that the authorities of Porto Murtinho, through their public policy agendas, in line with the UN 2030 Agenda, develop programs aimed at workers, so that they can work in the jobs that will emerge.

The aim of this work was to assess a few biometric characteristics, yield and gross revenue of four taro clones cultivated in a Dystrorthox soil, clay texture. Macaquinho, Japonês, Chinês and Cascudo clones were studied, in a randomized block experimental design with six replications. Plants of Chinês and Cascudo taro showed the highest heights and fresh leaf mass. For the values of diameter and length of RM, diameter of commercial RF and of length of non-commercial RF, percentages of dried leaf mass, RM and RF significant influences of clones were detected. These four studied clones showed similar statistics for yield values (t ha-1) of fresh mass of corm (from 4.22 for 'Japonês' up to 4.49 for 'Macaquinho') and of cormels (from 14.84 for 'Macaquinho' up to 16.83 for 'Cascudo') and non-commercial cormels (variation from 4.44 for 'Macaquinho' up to 5.19 for 'Chinês'). Observing average estimates regarding to gross revenue, it was concluded that cultivation of Cascudo taro was the best, which was R$ 192.00, R$ 2,136.00 and R$ 2,388.00 over revenues for 'Japonês', 'Chinês' and 'Macaquinho', respectively.
