Abstract

Brazil is a country with a great territorial extension and with potential economic enormous, if inserted into the global economy effectively. Increasingly, it has used the agribusiness as a competitive strategy for the international market, because it represents approximately 23% of the Gross Domestic Product (GPD). The importance of this work is the characterization of barriers of logistics of multimodality for export of one of the commodities more important, soybean. The country is the second largest producer and exporter of soya beans in the world, second only to the United States. A problem for which it is not at the level of largest producer and exporter in the world is the logistics practiced. For the study, was used the bibliographical research on the major problems of using the multimodal transport and even applications of interviews with companies in the industry, in the city of Dourados, Mato Grosso do Sul. Through the development of this work, as well as the data obtained, it is clear that the obstacles to the use of multimodal transport, in addition to infrastructure issues are strategic issues of companies. According to the results, the most striking factor, according to respondents, is the location in which they are. Thus, we can confirm that not only infrastructure issues and transportation costs reduced that influence the decision making of the choice of a modal, but rather strategic issues to increase competitiveness.
