Abstract

The bovine meat complex occupies a significant position amongst Brazilian exports and Parana State stands as one of the greater meat exporters and producers in Brazil. The aim of
this article is to analyze the behavior and international competitiveness of cattle and beef exportations by factory farming complexes from both Brazil and Parana, between 1990 and 2005. Two analysis models were used: the first one examines the evolution of this complex by means of a geometric growth rate obtained according to the Ordinary Least Squares method, and the other, the Constant-Market-Share model, decomposes the exports growth sources from factory farming complexes in components named as: “worldwide market growth”,“composition of the exportation agenda”, “exports destination” and “competitiveness”, and they are able to express the behavior of the exports in the studied period. The secondary data on the exports from Brazil and Parana were collected from MDIC/SECEX ALICEWEB, and those on worldwide meat imports were gathered from FAO, in the period 1990-2005. The analysis of the results from CMS model points out that both Brazil and Parana are highly competitive in the bovine meat complex and have a high market-share.
