Abstract: The primary sector in Brazil is of great importance for the national economy and the rice farming in Rio Grande do Sul is also important in this context because of its numerous producers. This paper aims at proving that the rice imported from Mercosur and the local production influence the internal price and that the relations between variables occur in a curvilinear way and cannot be analyzed by means of linear methods. Thus, it was used descriptive statistics, analysis of correlation and models of linear, semi‑logarithmic, quadratic and cubic regression. The results indicate that there are influences between variables and that the relations are linear for production and price and curvilinear for imports and prices.
