Planejamento e desenvolvimento: logística de transportes e exportações na mesorregião norte de Minas Gerais

Abstract

The process of planning and development of the logistics of transport extended the relations of capitalist production, thus establishing better ways for the circulation of persons, goods and information throughout the brazilian country, specially the norte-mineiro region.The aim of this paper is to analyze the network-configuration transportation logistics and exports in the planning process and development of the north of Minas Gerais, from the perspective of regional organization. In this research, we used bibliographical studies, data from secondary sources drawn from government institutions and data on primary sources collected through interviews, which were applied together with representatives of the logistics sector or foreign trade exporting firms with tax residence in the norte-mineira region. Planning and development policies of transport logistics in Brazil and in north of Minas Gerais came to meet the needs for maintenance of the circulations in the capitalist system. The actions of state institutions favored the development of economic infrastructure and productive activities, subsidized by tax and financial subsidies in the north-mining region. In this region, the industrial, agricultural and agribusines activities concentrated in the more well provided areas of land transport infrastructure, energy and communications. On the export busines, approximately 94.5% of the volumes of cargo, quantity kg, was transport by road in the area of production to the logistics warehouses. Of these, the harbor is the most used, resulting in great use of international shipping. The difficulties of the national logistic system is one factor that hinders the integration of regional products in international markets. The regional transport logistic infrastructure requires a continuous investment program for the recovery of logistical difficuties, and thus ensure the viability of economic and social relations within and between regions.
