Análise da logística no agronegócio: case produtor “ômega” no platô de Guadalupe-PI

Abstract

The expansion of agribusiness in Brazil has led to the creation of a food production chain. In this context, the irrigated plateaus of the municipality of Guadalupe-PI are a reference in terms of banana cultivation and marketing in the state of Piauí. Therefore, to carry out the flow of this production, well-structured logistics is necessary. However, production on the plateau faces numerous challenges in its logistics flow. Therefore, it is necessary to understand: how does logistics impact the agribusiness segment of a banana producer in Guadalupe-PI? Thus, the general objective of this research was to analyze logistics in the agro segment with reference to the banana production of an agribusiness producer. For the methodology of carrying out this research, it is understood as a case study, of an applied nature, with a descriptive objective and a qualitative approach in order to collect, select and process facts and data to obtain and confirm the results, so that the theme is presented in an objective and direct way, and thus, meeting the proposed objectives. To this end, the academic research was based on reading articles in periodicals, research in books on the subject, blogs and specialized websites. In addition, to obtain more results for the research, a questionnaire with open questions was applied to the interviewee. Regarding the results found, it was found that the means of transport used to transport bananas needs to be modernized, considering that bananas require specific care. The packaging used by the “omega” producer could be rethought, so that various types of damage that exist in the producer's logistics could be avoided with the use of correct procedures and structures.
