Abstract

Rice is considered a staple food for more than half of the world population where the production is estimated at around 480 million tons per year. Brazil is a major consumer and producer of rice mainly in the south region of the country. However, there is a dependence on other states, including grain imports. The state of Mato Grosso do Sul (MS), for example, raise its productivity by 965% in the last 40 years, but strangely there was a great reduction in the production of grain in the state. Given this context, the present work aims to analyze the evolution of rice cultivation in the country, the main producing regions and, more specifically, to show the panorama of rice cultivation in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul to identify possible causes that lead this state not to appear as a major producer despite the recorded productivity. To this end, a descriptive bibliographic and statistical study was carried out. The results showed that among the causes for this irrelevant role of MS is linked to the low quality of the grains produced, economies of scale in production in Rio Grande do Sul, high production of soy and corn, low availability of financing, competitive price of rice produced in Paraguay and logistical issues.
