Abstract

The present article analyses the Paraná soybean industry dynamism in the 80’s and 90’s comparing it to the Brazilian mid-west. It discusses whether the soybean crushing industry shifting to the Brazilian midwest, in view of soybean spreading to such region, has brought about the loss of Paraná soybean industry dynamism. Based on information about the soybean production and crushing industry, we came to a different conclusion: Paraná has maintained the soybean dynamism due its increased cultivated area and productivity. In addition, the crushing industry growth and adequacy to the new region  production played a complementary role to such region industry
