RESUMO

The Brazilian citrus agro industrial System is worldwide known not only for its greatness but mainly for its competitiveness. Something around 1.33 billion dollars was brought to Brazil by the citrus chain in consequence of all exports in 2003, what makes up 1.87% of all Brazilian exports and 4.4%of all agro industry exports. The bulk of these figures (72%) was due to type frozen concentrated juice which is basically produce for exportation. In the last three years 75% of all oranges produced in Brazil were aimed to this purpose, leaving only one fourth for domestic market. Brazil, with a citrus area of 820 thousand hectares and a production of 327 million of boxes with 40.9 kg each picked in 2003, has been for many years the world largest orange producer in the world with a share of 30% of the world production and 0ver 80% of world orange juice exportation. The domestic market development for juice and fruit becomes an important action to be developed, once the sector is highly dependent of frozen juice exportation (FCOJ; furthermore, the per capita consumption of oranges in Brazil is extremely low compared to other developed countries. In order to understand the citrus agro industrial system, describing the characteristics of acting members in the system and its interaction with other participants, it is important to characterize and quantify the system highlighting a sequence of phases that allow us to understand it, making possible the elaboration of strategies for the development of domestic market for fruits and orange juice. This study is based on the methodology developed by characterization and quantification of agro industrial systems. The result of this research a citrus chain drawing was shown, allowing in future researcher the development of coactive actions and the settlement public policy to make the chain competitiveness stronger and to developed in the chain.
