          Abstract

          Abstract: Brazil is the world’s second-largest producer of soybeans and the largest exporter. Despite the growing importance in the international market in the last harvests, activities related to this product threaten this position. Due to its economic importance for the country, this study aims to identify the competitiveness drivers of soybean destined for the international market and to measure their impacts on the export process. Therefore, the used methodology considers the systemic character of different factors that affect the supply chain positively or negatively. As a result, the logistics infrastructure dimension was the only competitiveness driver classified as unfavorable among the analyzed factors. The advances in agribusiness are being subsequently followed by some sectors of the economy such as science and technology. On the other hand, the logistics sector has not been showing the same development, causing some weaknesses to persist, either due to the lack of infrastructure of transport production, or the inability to properly store the national harvest. The current challenge for the State is to ensure the maintenance of the quality of the infrastructure already installed and to promote an environment capable of attracting private capital and a new investment cycle.

          Resumo: O Brasil é o segundo maior produtor mundial de soja e o maior exportador. Apesar do crescente destaque no mercado internacional nas últimas safras, atividades relacionadas ao escoamento desse produto ameaçam essa posição. Em razão da importância econômica para o país, o objetivo deste artigo foi identificar os direcionadores de competitividade da soja destinada ao mercado internacional e mensurar seus impactos no processo de exportação. Para tanto, a metodologia utilizada considera o caráter sistêmico de diferentes fatores que afetam a cadeia de maneira positiva ou negativa. Como resultado, a dimensão Infraestrutura Logística foi o único direcionador de competitividade classificado como desfavorável entre os fatores analisados. Os avanços do agronegócio estão sendo acompanhados em sincronia por alguns setores da economia, como ciência e tecnologia. Por outro lado, o setor logístico não tem apresentado o mesmo desenvolvimento, fazendo persistir algumas fragilidades, seja pela falta de infraestrutura para escoar a produção, seja pela impossibilidade de armazenar adequadamente a safra nacional. O desafio atual do Estado é garantir a manutenção da qualidade das infraestruturas já instaladas e promover um ambiente capaz de atrair o capital privado e um novo ciclo de investimentos.
