This article aims to evaluate and analyze the relevant logistics aspects and propose the most efficient route to strengthen the competitiveness of the Brazilian soybean production chain in the international market. We found evidence that decision-making about the flow of soybean production is related to aspects of cost, time, losses, and emissions. This article uses the combination of AHP and ANP methods for decision-making regarding which logistics corridor will be used to flow soybean production. The decision model was created considering experts in the logistics area. Three different logistics corridors were considered: sending soybeans produced in Mato Grosso do Sul to the Port of Paranagua, the Port of Santos, or the Port of São Luiz. The results indicate that the Port of São Luiz is the best option for shipping soybeans produced in Mato Grosso do Sul. The criteria of time, cost, and losses in transportation were considered important indicators in the choice of the logistics corridor and, although the Port of São Luiz is the most distant from the soybean-producing region of Mato Grosso do Sul, it is possible to infer that its choice is due to the agility in unloading the soybean cargo, which reduces the idle time of the combinations and provides greater profitability.

摘要

This article aims to evaluate and analyze the relevant logistics aspects and propose the most efficient route to strengthen the competitiveness of the Brazilian soybean production chain in the international market. We found evidence that decision-making about the flow of soybean production is related to aspects of cost, time, losses, and emissions. This article uses the combination of AHP and ANP methods for decision-making regarding which logistics corridor will be used to flow soybean production. The decision model was created considering experts in the logistics area. Three different logistics corridors were considered: sending soybeans produced in Mato Grosso do Sul to the Port of Paranagua, the Port of Santos, or the Port of São Luiz. The results indicate that the Port of São Luiz is the best option for shipping soybeans produced in Mato Grosso do Sul. The criteria of time, cost, and losses in transportation were considered important indicators in the choice of the logistics corridor and, although the Port of São Luiz is the most distant from the soybean-producing region of Mato Grosso do Sul, it is possible to infer that its choice is due to the agility in unloading the soybean cargo, which reduces the idle time of the combinations and provides greater profitability. Finally, additional studies need to be carried out to discuss more efficient technologies that reduce emissions and minimize physical and financial losses in the shipping of grain production from Mato Grosso do Sul.
