Bacias leiteiras e desenvolvimento regional : o caso da bacia leiteira de Pelotas no Rio Grande do Sul - Brasil.

Abstract

This work aims to study the conditions that the dairy region of Pelotas has to leverage the development of Pelotas and region. The Basin is now called the Pelotas Basin Dairy / Cosulati due to his being the largest milk processing company in Pelotas. Starting with the studies of milk, went through its composition. Characterize the major producer, demand and trade in the world where we have identified that the greatest changes, whit increases in global consumption of milk are due to emerging countries. We analyzed the subsidies and the distortions they cause in world trade, as well as losses on producers in countries that do not use this type of economic instrument. We detail the milk production, description of the trajectory to improve its sanitary quality, as well as the transformations occurring in their process of industrialization which resulted in its marketing as a commodity. Regarding production in Rio Grande do Sul and Pelotas Basin Dairy / Cosulati present composition, indicating how many what are the municipalities which form and the contribution of each one. We found that Brazilian producton has risen by 4% a year for some time and were able to observe some changes in the rankings of the states largest producers, mainly because the productive conversion of some areas where farmers have left the milk and the production of cane sugar: the case of São Paulo, Cerro de MiNAS Gerais, Goias and Mato Gosso. We rescued the foundation of pelotas, deployment and economic importance of beef jerky for Pelotas and region to consolidate and development. Sougth to characterize the conditions that contribute to that arrived today, the economic backwardness in which lies the city of Pelotas and region, without claiming to New Zeland, held recently, and we seek to identify similarities between the dairy production process of that country’s largest player in the global dairy market, with the Rio Grande do Sul. Evidence presented a number of features, natural and productive, like pointing at the potential use of their experience in dairy sector especially in the RS and dairy region of Pelotas / Cosulati. Finally we characterize the dairy regio of Pelotas identifying the advantages they offer over other domestic producers, as well as on other potential producing regions of the state. We believe we confirmed, including through the opportunities that the market its offering and investment announced and made effective in RS and in the dairy region of Pelotas / Cosulati, milk and its derivatives, with more intense unit and coordination among producers, resulting products international standard, must assume prominence as to provide economic regional development.
