Competitividade no mercado de carne bovina: uma comparação a partir das exportações do Brasil e da Argentina no período de 2006 a 2013

Abstract

The present study is to analyze the competition between Brazil and Argentina in beef exports in the world market, from 2006 to 2013. The methodology used the model Constant Market Share, which is the breakdown of the sources of growth of exports. The results showed, for the first review period (years of 2006 and 2009), which increased Brazilian exports to almost all countries, except Italy and the Netherlands, which directed their demand for other producing countries, due to cases of occurrence of FMD in the period. It was noted that the effective growth of the first period was cushioned by the target effect of exports, ie, Brazil exported to countries where the global demand showed up in growth greater than the import of the leading importers of Brazilian beef, already Argentina exported less to the United Kingdom, Russia and Spain, but had significant growth in exports to other countries. The second period indicated (years of 2010 and 2013).a large increase in Brazilian beef exports, but lost market for Russia, for the growth of Russian imports was higher than the growth of exports of Brazilian beef to the Russians. And Iran imported much less due to the decrease in their purchasing power, but Brazil practically maintained its market share with Iran. The growth of market share to other markets, especially Hong Kong and Venezuela, was due to the competitiveness effect and increased imports from these countries. Argentina, unlike Brazil, decreased exports of beef in the second period by the barriers which the country itself placed.
