Concentração empresarial nas exportações do complexo soja no Paraguai (2000-2016)

Abstract

Nas últimas décadas, a produção de soja se tornou a principal atividade agrícola no Paraguai. O objetivo deste trabalho é mensurar o grau de concentração empresarial nas exportações do complexo soja (grão, óleo e farelo) e o poder de mercado das firmas entre 2000 e 2016 no Paraguai. Para tanto, teremos como base três indicadores: Market Share (MS), Relação de Concentração (RC) e Índice de Herfindahl-Hirschman (IHH), que serão calculados a partir dos dados obtidos junto à Direção Nacional de Aduanas (Ministério de Fazenda do Paraguai). Os resultados apontam que o complexo soja,setor com maior peso nas exportações paraguaias, depende fundamentalmente de um pequeno número de grandes empresas transnacionais.
