ANÁLISE DO CONTEXTO DAS CADEIAS LOGÍSTICAS NO AGRONEGÓCIO DO NORDESTE GOIANO E DO OESTE BAHIANO

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the context of logistics chains in agribusiness in the micro-regions of Vão do Paranã, in Northeast Goiás, and Santa Maria da Vitória, in West Bahia. The methodology was characterized by a predominantly qualitative, descriptive, and exploratory approach, structured in three phases: bibliographic, documentary, and field research, the latter carried out through a semi-structured questionnaire applied to 11 managers and rural producers, with sampling defined by theoretical saturation. Data were analyzed through content analysis, as proposed by Bardin (1977). The results revealed a strong dependence on road transport, with a predominance of outsourced freight and logistics partnerships in production outflow. The main bottlenecks identified were the poor condition of roads, high freight costs, and high sensitivity to fuel prices, a factor cited by 90.9% of participants as having the greatest impact on operational costs. It was also found that 45.5% of producers operate in national and international markets, increasing the demand for greater logistics efficiency. As a contribution, this study highlights the need for investments in transport infrastructure, modal diversification, and the adoption of more integrated logistics management practices to strengthen regional agribusiness.
