Abstract
Mudanças ocorridas na economia mundial, como liberalização de mercados e formação de blocos, têm exigido que países em desenvolvimento, como no caso do Brasil, acompanhem tais transformações principalmente no que se refere à busca por produtos diferenciados e de maior qualidade. Diante disso, o setor açúcar iniciou um processo de reestruturação produtiva, visando estimular a modernização e, com isso, ampliar sua competitividade no comércio internacional. Considerando a importância desse setor para a economia brasileira, no que se refere à participação no PIB e na geração de divisas, objetivou-se neste trabalho avaliar a competitividade das exportações brasileiras de açúcar, no período de 1990 a 2004. O modelo teórico utilizado esta fundamentado na Teoria da competitividade e do Comércio Internacional. O procedimento de análise baseou-se nos indicadores de desempenho, eficiência e capacitação. Os dados usados foram obtidos em diversas instituições, tais como a Secretaria de Comércio Exterior (SECEX), da Fundação Getúlio Vargas, a Organização das Nações Unidas para a Agricultura (FAO), a FNP Consultoria e o Ministério da Ciência e Tecnologia (MCT). Os indicadores de competitividade apresentados indicaram que o açúcar brasileiro é altamente competitivo no comércio internacional, visto que as exportações foram crescentes e as importações decrescentes, chegando, em alguns períodos, a zero. Constatou-se, também, a representatividade do açúcar no PIB agrícola e na geração de divisas para o país. Os indicadores de eficiência e capacitação mostraram que o Brasil vem aumentando a sua competitividade por meio de maiores rendimentos com o produto e maiores gastos em ciência e tecnologia, respectivamente. Conclui-se que o setor de açúcar tem ampliado a sua competitividade com relação aos principais países produtores.----------------------------------------------Changes happened in the world economy, such as liberalization of markets and formation of blocks any they have been demanding that developing countries, Brazil’s case, accompany such transformations mainly in what refers to the search for differentiated products of larger quality.
