O impacto dos custos de transação sobre as exportações do setor frigorífico brasileiro

Abstract

In recent years there has been a growing increase in exports of the Brazilian beef sector, with projections that this number will increase until 2020. It happens that, tariff and non-tariff barriers directly influence the expansion of exports of the Brazilian refrigeration sector. In this paper, the costs of compliance will be addressed, showing how they impact exports, the potential of the sector and their competitiveness in the international market. The research methodology employed in this study is quantitative and exploratory, in which a review of the literature on the subject was sought in specialized books, articles and websites, as well as interviews with beef exporting companies to verify the barriers that they face in exports and how from their point of view, this can be minimized. The results showed that the Brazilian system is complex, the tax burden is high and there is a high cost of compliance for the companies to carry out the exports, which diminishes their competitiveness against companies from other countries.
