Cenários prospectivos da produção e armazenagem de grãos no Brasil

Abstract

With the increase in the world population and, consequently, the demand for food, the issue of grain production and storage becomes relevant, both at the national and international levels. It is known that Brazil is one of the largest grain producers in the world, due to, mainly, its great territorial extension, favorable climate and use of technology for crop management. But, besides producing, it is crucial to make the correct storage to be able to minimize grain losses, along with financial and logistical damages. Currently, grain production has increased in large proportions compared to static capacity, due to several factors. Therefore, in this article an estimation of grain production and storage in Brazil was carried out, based on the data provided by the National Supply Company (CONAB) and using the Least Square Method. From this, it is possible to demonstrate to do investors the geographical areas where the search for static capacity will be larger and consequently the business will be more profitable and attractive.
