Abstract

The article presents data about the sugar cane agribusiness system (AGS) in Brazil, and trends for ethanol, sugar and bioenergy. Making use of the macro environmental (STEP) analysis, it's possible to know opportunities and threats to the whole system, in terms of politic-legal (institutional), economic-environmental, socio-cultural and technological variables. At the same time, through the internal analysis, it can be showed strength and weak points in terms of five analytical dimensions: production, communication, logistics, personal capabilities and coordination. To finish, through the productive system (chain) strategic planning method, it can be generated a strategic agenda, with public and private policies, for the sustainable growth of this important productive system in the Brazilian and global economy.
