Estudo geoeconômico da cadeia produtiva do trigo no Brasil

Abstract

This study examines the geoeconomic dynamics of the wheat production chain in Brazil, focusing on primary production, productive structures, and consumption. To contextualize this process, it is essential to consider that the wheat production chain in Brazil responds to different cycles of development, both domestic and international. It thus follows changes in production relations and productive forces, generating new impulses at each stage to support the country's development process. The wheat production chain in Brazil undergoes continuous changes in its structure and location, evolving historically and acquiring dimensions that require interpretation across different scales of production and consumption. Through the lens of economic geography, the wheat production chain takes on various dimensions, moving from the universal to the particular. The complex dynamics of wheat consumption in a country as vast as Brazil take different forms in each region. Consequently, production, processing, and consumption form a complementary mosaic through internal and external relationships aimed at ensuring the supply of wheat and its derivatives.
