Competitiveness of the soybean complex in Brazil: enhancers and inhibitors.

The objective of this study was to analyze the competitiveness of the soybean complex in Brazil from 2002/2003 to 2012/2013, assessing the likely rational grounds for explaining this evolution. Using the Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA) model, as an indicator of competitive measure, we found that the soybean complex exports hold a strong position in the worldwide context for the years under consideration. This study proposes that the main reasons or enhancement factors for this progress may be based on two factors: knowledge & technology, and legislation. Despite the fact that soybean complex has evolved considerably in the past decades, there are inhibitors to be considered, such as problems in transport logistics and storage capacity limitations, both challenging issues which the last government mandates have been struggling with.
