Abstract: Objetiva-se, neste artigo, caracterizar o perfil exportador do agronegócio do estado de Mato Grosso do Sul, identificar quais segmentos possuem vantagens comparativas reveladas – competitividade –, quem são os parceiros mais representativos, assim como o tipo de comércio que se realiza. A metodologia utilizada permitiu avaliar, a partir de dados ex post, o desempenho competitivo dos segmentos do agronegócio, assim como os pontos fortes, fracos e neutros nas relações comerciais do Estado. Foram utilizados os índices: Gini-Hirschman; vantagem comparativa revelada (VCR); contribuição para o saldo comercial (CS); taxa de cobertura (TC) e comércio intraindústria (ICI). Os resultados mostraram que as exportações possuem uma forte dependência do agronegócio, com predominância dos segmentos carnes, complexo soja, complexo sucroalcooleiro e celulose. As exportações apresentam crescimento nos últimos quinze anos, porém a predominância dos segmentos do agronegócio vem sendo reduzida, nos últimos anos. O estudo permite concluir que importantes segmentos para o agronegócio do Estado apresentam elevada contribuição para o saldo comercial, entretanto, a baixa competitividade (VCR), sinaliza necessidade de investimentos nesses setores para um bom desempenho de Mato Grosso do Sul no comércio exterior. ----- In this work, we aimed to characterize the exporter profile of the agribusiness in the State of Mato Grosso do Sul, identifying which segments show comparative advantage - competitiveness -, who are the most competitive partners, as well as the developed marketing- type. The used methodology allowed the assessment, from ex post data, of the competitive performance of the agribusiness segments, as well as the strengths, weaknesses, and neutral points in commercial relations of the State. We used the following indexes: Gini-Hirschman, revealed comparative advantage (RCA), contribution for commercial balance (CB), coverage rate (CR), and intra-industry trade (IIT). According to results, exportations showed a strong dependence to the agribusiness, with predominance of segments of meat, soybean complex, sugar ethanol complex and cellulose. Exportations were found to be increasing over the last 15 years, however, with the parallel reduction of predominance of agribusiness segments in recent years. Therefore, we can conclude by saying that important segments for the agribusiness in the State show high contribution for commercial balance, but, the low competitiveness signalizes need of investments in this sectors for a good performance of the State in the foreign trade.
