Eficiência da produção e comércio de sementes de soja em licenciados da empresa Nidera

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the processing efficiency, storage and marketing of soybean in four seed producers of Nidera seeds company in the period between 2012/13 and 2013/14 crop years. For this, it was analyzed : cultivated area, produced seed, processing and storage efficiency, final seed outcome, sales marketing leftovers and seed size grading, for the soybean variety NA5909RG. In the 2012/13 crop year it was cultivated 4059.3 ha producing a total of 13661,652 ton of seeds. In the season 2013/14 it was cultivated 5252 ha and produced 13980.45 ton of seeds. It was found that: the perception of seed quality among seed producers is not uniform, considering the processing and storage efficiency; There are seed producers that have a better dimension of the seed market. The seed size varies markedly from year to year and between seed producers. processing losses may exceed 40% in a seed producer while in another with the same cultivar this loss is less than 20%. Storage losses can be considered low and the projection of 1.5/ton may be considered appropriate, considering the loss of processing, storage and marketing leftovers.
