INEFICÁCIA DA CAPACIDADE ESTÁTICA DA ARMAZENAGEM DE GRÃOS

Abstract

From the 40s to the 60s, numerous warehouses called conventional flat-bottomed warehouses were built in Brazil, as they were warehouses for sacks, especially for storing coffee and rice and had a cleaning machine and an intermittent dryer. The present work sought to analyze the inefficiency and bottlenecks in the static capacity in grain storage in Brazil, mainly in the state of Goiás. And as well as the specific objectives, to investigate the main bottlenecks in the grain storage system; identify the values related to static capacity in warehouses and silos; Analyze the factors of infrastructure and appropriate forms of storage; Explore the ways in which the crops flow. The research carried out is classified as quali-quantitative. As for the objectives, an exploratory approach, or preliminary study, was carried out, which aims to provide an understanding of the problem and to highlight it. As for the objectives, an exploratory approach was carried out, this work was carried out at Iporá Armazéns Gerais, located at Rod GO 174, Km 394 Zona Rural de Amorinópolis. In the 2010/2016 period, productivity per hectare progressed continuously with the expansion of static storage capacity. The production grew, due to the cultivated area, almost double in this period, with an average of 1817.82 thousand hectares per year, compared to the period 2000-2010, which reached an average of 959.14 thousand hectares per year, generating thus an increase in the storage deficit. The state of Goiás is among the main grain producers in Brazil, along with Mato Grosso, Paraná and Rio Grande do Sul. However, investments in storage have not kept pace with the growth in production. The bottleneck caused by the lack of grain storage units in the state of Goiás justifies several issues and also affects other sectors of the economy. In the municipality of Iporá-Go, grain production has been growing gradually in recent years, and the only storage system it contains in the region is located near the city of Amorinópolis-Go. In recent years, financial investments made in the infrastructure sector of the storage system in Brazil have failed to keep up with agricultural activities. Grain producers have faced problems with two important issues that affect agribusiness, namely how to store and the static capacity of warehouses.
