Abstract: O presente artigo refere-se ao estudo e comparação dos padrões sazonais de comportamento dos preços do amendoim no período de janeiro 1996 a dezembro de 2005. Constata-se que fatores sazonais, safra e entressafra, de fato influenciam o comportamento e a oscilação de preços no mercado de amendoim ao produtor. Por meio da análise comparativa percebe-se as diferenças como padrão sazonal e dispersão de preços entre os mercados primário (produtor) e secundário (atacado) do amendoim. Por fim, ressalta-se a importância de conhecer a variação sazonal e a irregularidade de preços do amendoim em diferentes níveis de mercado que compõem a sua cadeia produtiva, sendo esse estudo extremamente valioso no norteamento dos agentes econômicos que operam, direta e indiretamente, no agronegócio do amendoim. The present paper refers to the analysis and comparison of seasonal behavior patterns, regarding peanut price variation, in the period from January 1996 to December 2005. It is noticed that seasonal factors, related to harvest and inter-harvest time, in fact, influence the behavior and the price variation in the peanut agricultural market. By using the comparative analysis differences are observed, such as the seasonal pattern and the price dispersion between both markets, the primary one (the producer market) and the secondary one (the wholesale market). Finally, it is emphasized the importance of knowing the seasonal variation and the irregularity of peanut price in the different market levels of the productive chain. Thus, the present study is considered as a valuable tool to guide economical agents that act, either directly or indirectly, in peanut agribusiness.
