RESUMO

In the nineties, Brazil has gone through an intense process of mergers and acquisitions (M&A), with significant impacts on the country´s industrial plant. The Food and Beverage industry has had eminence in this process. This work intends to evaluate whether the M&A´s have had an effect on consumer prices of the food and beverage industry. This is the content of chapter 3, making use of IPC-FIPE (Consumer Price Index of the Institute for Economic Research Foundation) and of the IPA-FGV (Producer Price Index of the Getúlio Vargas Foundation). The empirical analysis is preceded by a study of the productive structure of the industry (supply ? chapter 1) and a brief description of the recent change in the Brazilian consumer market (demand ? chapter 2). In this way, the study offers a broad view of the food and beverage industry in Brazil, indicating changes after the M&A´s in the supply and demand structure as much as in the behavior of consumer prices.
