O Brasil e as cadeias agroindustriais de valor: integração, espacialização e dispersão concentrada

Abstract

The objective of the present study was to analyze the behavior of agroindustrial chains of value, defined based on the hypothetical extraction of the Agriculture, Forest, Hunting and Fishing sector (1), regarding the dynamics of productive integration, Rate of domestic con-tent in exports and its effects on the economic dynamism, productivity and specializations of each country. The results indicated the existence of a concentrated dispersion process, where the links of the productive chains of the agroindustrial sectors are dispersed around the world, but concentrated according to specific characteristics, such as high integration and locational advantages. In addition, the results indicated a dichotomy between high coupling to the Global Value Chains and the presence of locational advantages, factors that rarely occur simultaneously. For Brazil, specifically, there was a longitudinal disintegration relative to Agroindustrial Chains of Value, with reduction of locational advantages and relative reduction in productivity differences.
