Abstract

Despite its leadership as a producer, exporter, and consumer market for coffee, no Brazilian company has risen to the status of an international player. Far beyond, the M&A movement carried out by multinationals has resulted in the dominance of the domestic market. It is in this unfavorable context that Brazilian origination companies advances in vertical integration and commercial expansion. Based on the Theories of Location and Industrial Organization and using the TRC Cost Pricing methodology – ANTT, it was possible to interpret logistics strategies and identify locational competitive advantages sources, which, through the MERCOSUR-EU agreement and a coherent Industrial Policy, can even elevate Brazilian players to the status of competitors in the global processed coffee markets.
