Abstract

A agricultura brasileira se desenvolveu muito nas últimas décadas, transformando o Brasil, hoje em dia, em um dos principais produtores agrícolas e pecuários do mundo. Especificamente, a região Sul, objeto deste estudo, foi responsável, em 2006, por aproximadamente 28,8% do valor da produção agropecuária (IBGE, 2009). Essa significativa participação (somente menor do que a da região Sudeste) se explica pela presença de algumas das maiores cadeias produtivas do setor na região, por exemplo, as de soja e milho. O objetivo deste estudo é avaliar a situação recente da agropecuária na região Sul, com base nos dados do Censo Agropecuário 2006, realizado pelo Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE). A partir desse diagnóstico, o estudo busca identificar limitações e debater os desafios futuros ao desenvolvimento da agropecuária na região. O diagnóstico realizado identificou que a produção agropecuária regional se beneficia de um melhor ambiente para desenvolvimento de suas atividades. Para que essa competitividade continue, e possivelmente até aumente, diversos investimentos são necessários, como na melhoria da infraestrutura de transporte para escoamento da produção. Brazilian agriculture developed significantly over the last decades, transforming Brazil in one of the World´s major agricultural and livestock producer. Specifically, the Southern Region, object of this study, in 2006 accounted for approximately 28.8% of the value of agricultural production (IBGE, 2009). This significant participation (lower only than the Southeast region) can be explained by the presence of some of the largest agricultural supply chains in the region such as soybean and corn grains. This study´s objective is to evaluate the Southern region´s recent agricultural situation based on data from the 2006 Brazilian Agricultural Census. Based on this diagnosis, the study aims to identify limitations and discuss challenges to future agricultural development in the region. The study identified that regional agricultural production benefits from an overall better environment for the development of their activities compared to other Brazilian Regions. For this competitive edge to continue and possibly even increase, many investments are needed, such as improved transportation infrastructure.
