Determinação da receita bruta gerada na cultura do café arábica em algumas das cidades polos do Brasil

Abstract

Studies indicate that the primary and secondary sectors have registered declines over the years while the tertiary sector tends to gain relative importance in the economy. The relative reduction of these activities throughout the development process of the most advanced economies boosted discussions on the Dutch disease, deindustrialization and the reprimarization, grounded in studies by Winjnberg (1984), Torkik (2001), Oreiro and Feijó (2010), Marquetti (2002) Rowthorn and Ramaswamy (1999), among others. When the agribusiness increased exportation and contributed to the increase in national reserves, it represented one of the sectors that had generated employment in the last decade (Almeida et al., 2009). The coffee as a commodity gains more status on the world market and generates employment in agribusiness. Brazil is the third largest exporter and the first in production. This study aims to analyze the behavior of the wealth generated and distributed by Arabica coffee culture in terms of gross revenue, the main producing areas of Brazil (Franca-SP; Guaxupé, Luís Eduardo Magalhães-BA, Patrocínio, Manhuaçu and São Sebastião do Paraíso- MG; Londrina-PN; Venda Nova dos Imigrantes-ES) between 2001 and 2013, through a quantitative research, descriptive approach and a source of bibliographic data and documents. The technical analysis of variance (ANOVA) and the panel data were used to achieve the results. The first technique was used to investigate the distribution of gross revenue in Arabica coffee culture and its evolution over the period studied. The second technique was used to analyze the determinants of gross revenues which were observed during the analysis of these various Brazilian regions. The results showed that the gross revenue of Luís Eduardo Magalhães was statistically significant and greater than Franca, Londrina, Manhuaçu and Guaxupé, and in terms of changes in gross revenue, the regions that had grown were Patrocínio, Guaxupé, Londrina and Venda Nova dos Imigrantes. Regarding the variable farm work costs, production factor and income factor, these were positively significant, indicating that they are relevant in determining the gross revenue of Arabica coffee culture.
