Brazil is a significant player in the global agribusiness, in which the sugar and alcohol sector is one of its pillars, as the second largest in export value in the list of Brazilian exports in 2010. Brazil has favorable climatic characteristics for the development of sugar cane, and most of the agriculture areas of the country have suitable conditions for its cultivation. Currently, the country is the world leader in production and exportation of sugar, the focus of this work. The South-Central region stands out for being the major producer in the country, accounting for 87per cent of national production in 2009/2010 and therefore the predominant source of the product destined for the export market. The industry that supports sugar production in Brazil has grown significantly in recent decades, with investments in machinery and technological modernization which, together with the climatic characteristics and extensive farmland, in terms of production costs contribute to strong competitiveness of the country, compared to the other major world producers. However, all that favorable productive competitiveness is affected by the bottlenecks created by the deficiency of the logistics infrastructure that impact the logistics costs. In order to promote the acceleration of economic development of the country, the federal government launched in 2007 the PAC, or Plan for Accelerating Growth, through investments in various sectors, among which the logistics infrastructure. Its main objectives are to minimize the bottlenecks of the sector, promote a more balanced transport matrix, which currently is dominated by the highways. Thus, this study aims to analyze the logistics infrastructure used to export sugar from the South-Central region and the impacts that the PAC will generate in the industry.
