Abstract

A competição no sistema agroalimentar revela, atualmente, características semelhantes à de outros sistema produtivos, onde predominam os esforços para diferenciação na oferta de produtos. Atender às exigências da demanda tornou-se uma regra básica para a sobrevivência dos negócios, fazendo com que benefícios como praticidade, variedade, conveniência e qualidade ganhem crescente evidência. Contudo, ao contrário dos outros tipos de bens, qualidade nos alimentos é uma categoria analítica sujeita a distintas interpretações. Os problemas de contaminação e pobreza nutricional nos alimentos geram oportunidades para uma profunda reflexão sobre o sistema de oferta de alimentos e para as ações dos atores econômicos que procuram apresentar projetos de produtos cada vez mais diferenciados. Este trabalho apresenta uma leitura do panorama competitivo na oferta de alimento tendo como base o foco na qualidade. Por meio da Economia das Convenções analisa-se distintos mundos da produção de alimentos e como estes se organizam. A partir da contribuição de Michel Storper, procura-se demonstrar quais são os mundos da produção de alimentos.--------------------------------------------Competition on the agrofood has increasingly resembling that of others productive systems, where product diferentiation became a commom place.
