Geração e distribuição de riqueza no âmbito da cultura do milho primeira safra nos principais estados produtores do Brasil

Abstract

This article seeks to present how was the evolution of the generation and distribution of value in the field of corn first crop in the main producing states of Brazil over the period between 2004 and 2020. At first, data about total production and production costs were collected through available historical series. After processing the initial data to verify the average Total Income of the states that produce corn first crop, the states of Minas Gerais (MG), Paraná (PR) and Rio Grande do Sul were found to be the largest producers of corn first crop. Finally, the evolution of the generation and distribution of value was developed for the six items with the highest added value between 2016 and 2020 for each of the three producing states. It was found that despite being different states, there is a similar distribution of value for Input Suppliers, Service Providers, Compensation on own land and Depreciation, items with higher added value present in the analyzes of the three states and which were presented in the same order of importance in relation to their added value, which could mean the existence of a pattern in the distribution of value, including the non-influence of the place of production in this distribution. In relation to Profit, despite the great added value in the last five years, this item presents fluctuations in the studied period, which could be the result of external risks inherent to the activity, such as dependence on the weather.
