Abstract

The study evaluates the evolution of goods exits through the Port of Itaqui, in Maranhão, between 2000 and 2017. It analyzes and estimates the average growth rates of annual production and agglomeration from the manufacturing of agribusiness and its strengthening in the market. The results showed the trend of exports growth, with the highest production landed during the whole period. Basic, manufactured (junction of manufactured and semi manufactured) and industrialized products showed a significant increase in the evaluation. This result is attributed to the investments punctuated from the manufacturing to the exportation of the merchandise, through infrastructure improvements and technologies adapted to large-scale production. The work proposes to visualize and analyze in a clear and precise way the process of fluidity of the goods before the use of the port as exit for the international market.
