Abstract

O texto tem como objetivo contabilizar as exportações brasileiras em termos de recursos naturais, especificamente a água virtual, carreada pelo complexo soja em 2013, identificando, além da volumetria, os principais destinatários. A proposta, mais que a simples quantificação, é demonstrar que, sendo o Brasil um grande exportador de alimentos, também se posiciona deste modo em nível de fresh water e, nesta condição, suporta parcela substancial das necessidades hídricas alheias, apresentando-se a seus parceiros comerciais, por conseguinte, como uma fonte complementar do recurso. The text aims to account for Brazilian exports, in terms of natural resources. Precisely, the virtual water, carried by soy complex in 2013, identifying the volumetric addition, the main recipients. The proposal, more than the simple quantification, is to demonstrate that, as Brazil is a major exporter of food, thus also stands at the level of fresh water; that, in this condition, supports substantial portion of the water needs of others, presenting, therefore, to its trading partners, as a complementary source of the resource in question
