Comparativa da produção de soja em grãos entre o Brasil e EUA nos quesitos de exportação, logistica e custo de produção

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the competitiveness of Brazilian soybean production in grains compared to North American production. Among the items analyzed in this study are exports, logistics and production costs. For this, data obtained from institutions, such as CONAB, USDA, EMBRAPA, IMEA, among others, were used. As a tool for this analysis, the Policy Analysis Matrix (MAP) was used for production costs. The results of the research show that, in general, soybeans produced in Brazil are considerably competitive, however, due to their inadequate transportation, independence in road morale, and labor costs, it loses this competitiveness. Where in the United States they use multimodal, and seek to minimize the use of labor and maximize the use of technologies. In terms of exports, Brazil has great potential to become the largest exporter of soybeans, since the main buyer of the grain is China.
