Abstract

O aumento da eficiência produtiva e econômica é fator decisivo para a competitividade do setor leiteiro que, produzindo com menor custo, beneficiará toda a cadeia do leite. Dessa maneira, a unidade de produção pode ter, na eficiência produtiva, a condição necessária para a sobrevivência e o crescimento dentro da economia de mercado. Considerado o maior produtor de leite do Brasil, o estado de Minas Gerais exerce importante papel na cadeia agroindustrial do leite O presente trabalho tem por objetivo geral estimar e analisar as eficiências econômicas dos produtores de leite no estado de Minas Gerais. Especificamente pretende-se: estimar as eficiências econômicas dos produtores de leite em Minas Gerais separados por níveis tecnológicos; comparar os escores de eficiência obtidos, por meio do método de fronteira de produção estocástica e por fim, verificar os fatores explicativos das variações nas eficiências. Os dados utilizados nesta pesquisa foram cedidos pela Empresa de Assistência Técnica e Extensão Rural do Estado de Minas Gerais (EMATER¬MG). O período de análise compreendeu os anos agrícolas de 1995/96 a 2001/02. Seiscentos e quatorze fazendas foram pesquisadas, distribuídas em 11 diferentes mesorregioões no estado de Minas Gerais. Os níveis de eficiência econômica dos produtores de leite do estado de Minas Gerais foram estudados adotando-se uma função fronteira de produção estocástica. Como variáveis que explicam a eficiência econômica, recebem destaque as variáveis ligadas ao volume de produção, produtividade e o valor dos animais dos sistemas de produção. O estudo indica que apenas 16,8% dos produtores estudados apresentam níveis de eficiência econômica que os aproximam da fronteira de produção, dessa forma existe uma grande demanda por parte do setor produtivo no que se refere ao uso eficiente de seus recursos.--------------------------------------------The increase in productive and economic efficiency is a decisive factor for competitive of the dairy industry, witch by at producing less cost, and will benefit the entire chain of milk. The pastoralist should be aware of his costs, tailoring them to a reality witch allows the sound management of his enterprise, seeking for a rational use of productive resources from milk activity Thus, the unit of production may have in productive efficiency, a necessary condition for both survival and growth within the market economy. Considered to be the largest milk producer in Brazil, Minas Gerais state pays important role in the agro industrial milk chain. This study aims to estimate and analyze the economic efficiency of the milk producers in the state of Minas Gerais. Specifically seeks to – estimate the economic efficiencies of milk producers in Minas Gerais separated by technological levels, compare the scores of efficiency obtained by means of the stochastic production frontier method and finally, check the factors explaining the variations in efficiencies. The Company Technical Assistance and Rural Extension of state os Minas Gerais (EMATERMG) sold the data used in this research. The period of analyses included the agricultural years from 1995/96 to 2001/02 more than six hundred farms were researched. They were distributed in 11 different regions in the state of Minas Gerais. The levels of economic efficiency of the milk producers in the state of Minas Gerais were studied adopting is a function of production stochastic frontier. As variables that explain the economic efficiency, receive highlighted the variables related to the volume of production, productivity and value of animals in production systems. Already a variable that indicates an inverse relationship with the indices of economic efficiency, spent on veterinary products, can be an indicator of the health of the herds has compromised the efficiency of the properties. The study indicates that only 16.8% of the producers have studied levels of economic efficiency that close to the border of production, thus there is a great demand by the productive sector with regard to efficient use of its resources.
