Estudo da capacidade de estocagem da produção de grãos de soja no estado do Piauí

Abstract

In the Northeast region, the state of Piauí stands out as a relevant grain producer, facing challenges common to other states, especially the lack of adequate storage capacity for its substantial production. The objective of this study was to analyze the total production of soybeans from 2017 to 2023, and evaluate the static storage capacity in the current period of 2023. The research follows a descriptive exploratory methodology, involving data collection of soybean production in Piauí to based on historical series from the National Supply Company. Information regarding warehouses, static capacity, geographic location, type and level of warehouse, was obtained from the National Storage Units Registry System. Soybean production in the state of Piauí from 2017 to 2023 was 20,710.7 million tons. Currently, with 179 storage units, with a static capacity of 2,716,955.00 tons. In order to reach an ideal capacity in 2023, considering the production of 3,691,900 tons for the year, it would be necessary to increase exactly 3.794.545 tons in static storage capacity, reflecting a deficit of 58,2% in the state's static capacity in relation to production total grain it produces
