Comparativo entre os modais ferroviário e rodoviário para o escoamento de soja para exportação do Mato Grosso até os portos de Santos e Paranaguá

Abstract

The present study analyzes comparatively the transport modes used on export soy outflow from the state of Mato Grosso to the ports of Santos and Paranaguá. For this, the soybean production of the State and the regions where production was found on a larger scale were studied. After analyzing the origin point, the main ports used in the soybean export process were identified. As a third step, the main modalities used to transport the soybean from the fields to the ports were studied. Finally, through a comparative analysis between freight, transit times and among other aspects, the best options of transport were defined so that this process becomes more efficient and less expensive for those involved, consequently impacting in the final value of the soybean for the buyer. The results indicate that the railways are more efficient, generating lower costs to the producer and being able to transport larger volumes of bulk cargo compared to the roadways.(sic)
