Eficiência de sistemas de cria na bovinocultura de corte no município de Quaraí– RS

Abstract

The agribusiness of bovine meat has great importance in Brazilian economic scenario, since it includes rural producers and sectors all over of the property. Despite the potential of Brazilian cattle breeding, to improve its effectiveness and achieve new markets, there are several obstacles to be faced by the sector. In this scenario, by diagnosing the productive systems and developing researches that measure its efficiency, it is possible to evaluate the competitiveness of the rural enterprise. Thus, the present work aimed to diagnose the efficiency of beef production systems in Quaraí - RS, based on an analysis of the main factors that influence the biotechnology efficiency in terms of technological, management and marketing aspects and external environment. The research was developed using a questionnaire, made by a multidisciplinary team, which, in addition to characterizing the properties, allowed to measure the efficiency index (IE) by using scores and weights for the drivers, factors and subfactors. The questionnaire was applied to 41 farms that work with cattle in Quaraí and after data collection, they were tabulated, where a descriptive statistical analysis, ANOVA test and, through SPSS software, The Cluster Analysis (Ward Method) was performed. It was verified that all inefficient properties were the smalls and medium ones (PM) and all the efficient ones were large (GR). It was verified that the GR were neutral with respect to the IE, being considered efficient for the TE indicator and neutral for the GE and MA indicators. The PM group were inefficient in relation to the IE, being neutral for the TE indicator and inefficient for the GE and MA indicators. It was found that the biggest obstacle 10 is not the access to technologies, but an efficient management of production systems besides a rural extension of quality in the city and in the region.
