Reestruturação espacial do setor tritícola no Brasil e o desenvolvimento do mercado de biscoitos e massas alimentícias

Abstract

Starting in 1990, a new scenario emerges, both for triticale production and for the wheat derivatives industry in Brazil. The results of the challenges posed to the sector have led the biscuit and pasta industry to restructure, achieving a significant growth in sales in the last two decades, both the expansion of consumption in the domestic market and the expansion of supply through diversification and Product differentiation. This sector also had an increase in sales to the foreign market, especially since 2003, a period in which it has increased its exports. This work seeks to understand the transformations that occurred in the agribusiness manufacturing Chain, emphasizing the biscuit and pasta industry in Brazil. In view of the proposal, we sought to identify and analyze the main factors that, since the 1930s, have played a role in the development of the sector and its recent restructuring and have impacted on the spatial dynamics, both productive and markets. To that end, it is considered as an element of the multiple determinations present in this research: the state, political and institutional changes, wheat production, changes in the pattern of income consumption in society, business strategies in the sector, mergers and acquisitions, Expansion of the domestic market and exports.
