Abstract

As fusões e aquisições no Brasil tiveram um grande salto na década de 90 e o setor produtivo da agroindústria da cana-de-açúcar foi um dos destaques. Os efeitos causados no mercado por essas transações podem ser positivos ou negativos, tanto para as empresas diretamente envolvidas como para a sociedade como um todo. Esta pesquisa foi realizada com o objetivo de analisar a concentração de mercado das unidades produtivas e da agroindústria de cana-de-açúcar no Brasil e dos distribuidores de álcool hidratado etílico. Foram utilizados como métodos as taxas de concentração C4, C8, C20 e o Índice de Hirschman-Herfindahl (HHI), além do levantamento de outros estudos e informações em periódicos. As unidades produtivas vêm diminuindo sua concentração, principalmente em função de as empresas de pequeno e médio porte terem aumentado sua escala de produção, sendo, portanto, ainda muito pulverizadas. A agroindústria também se mostrou muito pulverizada, apesar do intenso processo de fusão e aquisição ocorrido entre essas empresas nos últimos anos. Por outro lado, os distribuidores de álcool hidratado etílico vêm apresentando significativa concentração no mercado. Com tudo isso, pode-se dizer que o processo de fusão e aquisição tende a se intensificar entre as unidades produtivas e a agroindústria processadora de cana-de-açúcar no mercado nacional......Mergers and acquisitions in Brazil had improved in the 90’s, and the productive section of the sugarcane agroindustry was one of the highlights. Effects caused by these transactions in the market can be positive or negative for both companies directly involved and the society. The objective of this research is to analyze the market concentration of producing units, the agroindustry of sugarcane and the ethyl hydrous ethanol distributors in Brazil. We have used as methods the concentration rates C4, C8, C20, the Hirschman-Herfindahl Index (HHI), and researches in another studies, journals and newspapers. The productive units have been decreasing their concentration, caused mainly by the increased production scale of the small and medium companies, resulting, therefore, in still very distributive productive units. The agroindustry was also very distributive, in spite of the intense merger and acquisition process that happened among those companies over the last years. On the other hand, distributors of ethyl hydrous ethanol have improved their concentrations in the market. With all this, it can be said that the merger and acquisition process might step up among producing units and the agroindustry which process sugarcane in the domestic market.
