Effects of the Logistics in the Volume of Soybean by Export Corridor of Mato Grosso

Abstract

Brazil is one of the biggest producer and exporter of soybean. Its production is basically divided among six main players which Mato Grosso alone responds for 29,3% of total production of the country. The aim of this paper is to investigate the relation between logistics factors and the volume of soybean transported by corridors of exportation. To this end, we develop a multi-linear regression model and tested using data of Mato Grosso state. The results show that low transportation costs per ton, port capacity and increase soybean volume in the corridor of exportation.
