Abstract

The meat of bovine animals is one of the mainly products exported by the countries of Mercosur, including Brazil, this way, analyzing this commodity’s behavior and competitiveness in the international market is considered relevant, thereby becoming the objective of this text. The analytical period extended from 1991 to 2011, but three sub-periods were considered to obtain characteristic information of changes in the external scenario to explain the behavior of bovine meat trade flows in the countries of this group. To achieve the objective, a Constant Market-Share model has been used, which has shown results – for the sources of growth’s breakdown analysis in period II in relation to period I, as well as period III in relation to period II –, that the growth of trade effects and competitiveness are positive, while the destine of exports’ effect has been negative.

Keywords: meat exports, Mercosur, market-share.
