Abstract

A agricultura brasileira passou por um processo de modernização que ocorreu gradativamente entre a década de 1950 e os dias atuais. Fez parte dessa modernização a incorporação de práticas agrícolas mais eficientes com relação à produtividade. Entretanto, a agricultura brasileira enfrenta diversos obstáculos para o seu crescimento, um dos maiores é a infraestrutura de transportes deficiente. Esse texto trata dessa questão. O objetivo principal deste estudo é abordar a relação entre o agronegócio brasileiro e a infraestrutura de transportes necessária para permitir um desenvolvimento continuado das atividades agropecuárias no Brasil. Alternativas para se ampliar e modernizar a infraestrutura de transportes brasileira existem. Essas alternativas, por sua vez, enfrentam o obstáculo do financiamento.1 Por mais que elas sejam benéficas para o setor agropecuário, os recursos disponíveis para financiar muitos dos projetos são escassos. A resolução do problema de se melhorar a deficiente infraestrutura de transportes brasileira não é trivial, mas é uma que deve ser debatida pela sociedade e cobrada do poder público. Brazilian agriculture has undergone a process of modernization that occurred gradually since the 1950s to the present day. Part of this modernization included the use of more efficient agricultural practices with respect to agricultural yield. However, Brazilian agriculture still faces many obstacles to its further development, one of which is posed by the faulty transport and logistics infrastructure. This text deals with this issue. The main purpose of it is to address the relationship between agribusiness and logistics infrastructure necessary to allow Brazilian agriculture continued development. Alternatives to expand and modernize Brazilian transport infrastructure exist. These alternatives in turn face the problem of funding. As much as they are beneficial to the agricultural sector, the available resources to fund many of the projects are scarce. The resolution of such a challenge, to improve poor Brazilian logistics infrastructure, is not trivial, but it is one that must be addressed by society and public authorities.
