Exportacao de calcados para os EUA - analise de mercado
A - Introdução

Os Estados Unidos são um grande importador de sapatos, com um mercado de 15 bilhões de dólares. Segundo pesquisa da Abicalçados (Associação Brasileira das Indústrias de Calçados) o Brasil ainda tem um grande potencial a explorar nos Estados Unidos. O crescimento da indústria calçadista brasileira nas quatro últimas décadas está diretamente ligado ao mercado consumidor norte-americano. A partir de 1968, os Estados Unidos se tornaram o maior comprador do calçado "made in Brazil". Historicamente, os importadores americanos são responsáveis pela compra de 70 a 80 por cento do total exportado pelo Brasil. Em 2001, os EUA adquiriram 98 milhões de pares de sapatos (de um total de 171 milhões de pares exportados pelo Brasil), correspondentes a U$1,1 bilhão faturados pelos fabricantes nacionais com negócios no exterior.

Os EUA, por serem o principal mercado de destino dos calçados brasileiros, têm sido muito importante estrategicamente para a indústria calçadista nacional, que passou a ter conhecimento de novos processos e tecnologias; desenvolvendo, assim, um produto de qualidade, diferenciado e com preço competitivo; distinguindo-se dos produtos de baixo valor agregado, oriundos principalmente da China e Taiwan.

O parque fabril brasileiro é composto hoje por cerca de seis mil fábricas e é considerado um dos mais modernos do mundo. A mão-de-obra brasileira é cada vez mais profissionalizada. O setor produtor gera cerca de 250 mil empregos diretos. Em 2001, calçados constituíram o terceiro item brasileiro mais exportado para os EUA, depois de aparelhos transmissores e aviões.

O Brasil exporta para os EUA em torno de 19% de sua produção, sendo o Rio Grande do Sul responsável por 85% da produção brasileira de calçados; seguido por São Paulo (7.1%), Ceará (5.1%), Paraíba (1%), Santa Catarina e Minas Gerais. E os exportadores brasileiros querem ampliar o volume exportado tanto através de distribuidores com marcas próprias, quanto através de representantes das

    The article titled “Brazil Seen Beating US in Soybean Trade as China Buys” discusses the rising production of soybeans in Brazil. The US is currently the largest grower of the product and therefore holds a comparative advantage in trade amongst nations. Rising supply from Brazil will create competition for the business of the largest demand which is held in China. “Production in Brazil climbed 53 percent in the past decade, compared with 7 percent in the US” (Javier, Chanjaroean, 2012). In 2012-2013, Brazil is said to produce 81 million tons of soybean as compared to 77.84 million tons in the US which portrays Brazil’s comparative advantage (Javier, Chanjaroean, 2012). China has imported 59.2 tons of soybean in the year ended September 30th of which, 45 percent were produced in Brazil and 39 percent were from the US. China utilizes soybeans to create meal for livestock and fish, and to produce cooking oil. It is clear that the US is losing its competitive edge on the production and distribution of soybeans mainly because it no longer possesses the comparative advantage in production. This analysis will discuss what enables a country to rise above its competition via the creation of comparative advantage in trade.…

    On October 27, 1997, Arnold Pollet, treasurer and secretary at Univar Fontenay, France, was reviewing the budget and operational reports sent from the company’s Brazilian subsidiary. This was the first time he had reviewed these figures since the new general manager, Carlos Lopes, had taken over in November 1996. With the consolidation of the Mercosur agreement, and potential further trade integration with the rest of Latin America, it had become strategically important to reposition the Brazilian operations. Economic stabilization and a more open trade policy were likely to redefine many of the prevailing rules of competition in the region. Improvement of operational practices and new strategic thinking were essential for the future of Univar in Brazil and the Mercosur trade area. The losses the company incurred in 1996 called for more aggressive actions to restore the Brazilian business to acceptable standards.…
