Abstract: The objective of this article was to analyses the viability of the investments in soybean stocking as a strategic decision in logistics. The theorical principle used is the compensation of logistics costs, so that the entrepreneurial strategic is based in sum of the logistics costs, intending to identify the minimum total costs area of the operations. In this approach, it is possible to take an accurate decision about the operations, even if one or more than one of the logistics activities is out of its minimum point of cost. In storage costs, it was took in count the equivalent annual value (EAV), as the capital payment; The net present value (NPV) was used as viability of the investiment indicator. In that way, it was possible to confirm the efficiency of the investments into storage structures, either in a level of numerous quantities of grain or in the case of the studied farm. The annual logistics expenditures are lower when there is a larger possibility of not selling the harvest when the transportation costs are high, and they keep on decreasing as these structures come near the commercialization units. That means that the remuneration of the operational costs and the savings in transportation make the investments viable. This work also emphasizes the transportation costs as a determinant of the sectorial expenditures in logistics.
