Estudo de viabilidade de palletização de cargas de farinha de trigo provenientes de importações da Argentina

Abstract

Brazil is currently one of the largest consumers of wheat in the world and failed to do so, a high-sufficiency in the production of this cereal, which led to him being one of the largest importers of the product in question and its derivatives, in particular wheat flour. We can highlight the product as a major in the Brazilian trade balance. In this scenario we have the emergence of a major partner in the relationship sector trade of wheat, Argentina. This paper aims to demonstrate the feasibility or otherwise of the palletizing cargo of wheat flour, which are usually handled in sacks of 50 and 25 pounds. The study will be done in a supply chain of a mill that Argentina has branches in Minas Gerais, Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, in which all the stowage of bags, are handmade by dockers outsourced. To develop the work we will show the historical aspects of Brazil and Argentina, especially the rivalries of the past and the agreements reached in MERCOSUR, where both the saturated world market, had to strengthen ties in South America to create a common market. Studies on the means of transport used and demonstration of supply and demand of wheat in the MERCOSUR, as well as global supply and demand which directly influences the prices charged by the market.
