Description:	The Pantanal is a Brazilian biome with a peculiar beef cattle production system. In november 2018, the Government of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, approved legisla- tion that made the tax incentive for organic and sustainable meat production official. Despite the initial difficulty in organizing the production chain and, in parallel, going through 2 years of pandemic, in 2022 the production system was consolidated. In order to evaluate the progress of the sustainable and organic meat production system in the Pantanal, data from nine slaughterhouses accredited by the Pantanal Sustainable Livestock Program were subjected to unstructured modeling using the K-means method. Two groups were identified (C1 and C2). The first (C1) had a smaller number of animals per batch, and most batches had females. Group C2 had a larger number of animals, mainly males. C1 and C2 received, respectively, 53 and 47% of the total tax exemption (BRL 8,495,587.53). The development of a sustainable livestock system with quality and certification for bovine at slaughter proved to be an important option for the development of livestock farming in the Pantanal.
