Abstract

The objective of the study is to analyze the competitiveness and export specialization of Brazil in the world beef market, between 2000 and 2020, in comparison to the largest world exporters, and the degree of concentration of Brazilian exports, in addition to evaluating how the deepening of the Preferential trade relations between Brazil and the European Union (EU) would affect the Brazilian meat sector. The methodology used was based on the Revealed Comparative Advantage Index, the Export Specialization Index, the Concentration Ratio and the computable General Equilibrium Model, using the Global Trade Analysis Project database (GTAP), version 10. The results confirmed the importance of a free trade agreement between Brazil and the EU, and the economic advantages obtained by both, in production, exports and well-being.
