AbstractPurpose -The purpose of this paper is to focus on technology capability and develops a model for measuring it applied agrifood industry companies. Design/methodology/approach -Using a combination of literature review, observation research (expert interviews), AHP multicriteria analysis method and case study research, the paper develops an index model. The proposed model was applied to the case of dairy agribusiness complex in Brazil (180 rural units, five fluid milk processing companies and six cheese factories).Findings -The index model developed includes five macroindexes: resources; technology upgrading; processes and routines; learning mechanisms; and coordination and accessibility. Results show that the model was able to identify the different technology capabilities of the companies studied and generated important information to identify bottlenecks and improvement opportunities for these companies. Originality/value -The study contributes to understanding of a technological capability in the agribusiness system companies and how it can measure this capability in an integrated and synthetic model. Literature shows any models but no record of an integrated measurement system composed of a multi-attribute applied to assess the agribusiness system companies.

O objetivo deste trabalho é propor e aplicar um modelo de cálculo de custo logístico total para produtos agroindustriais brasileiros voltados para a exportação. O modelo é aplicado para a soja em grão produzida no Mato Grosso e exportada pelo porto de Santos. As avaliações contemplam fluxos de escoamento com rotas unimodais e intermodais. Do ponto de vista teórico, o modelo proposto contempla algumas variáveis comumente negligenciadas em análises deste tipo. Este é, por exemplo, o caso das variáveis ligadas à tributação. Do ponto de vista dos resultados empíricos resultantes da aplicação do modelo, o trabalho mostra que, devido a uma série de fatores e contrariando grande parte da bibliografia disponível sobre o assunto, nem sempre é vantajoso para o produtor brasileiro de soja do Mato Grosso escoar sua produção por alternativas intermodais. Algumas sugestões para trabalhos futuros nesta área são apresentadas ao final do artigo.
