Análise do setor de produção e processamento de café em Minas Gerais: uma abordagem matriz insumo-produto

The objective of this work is to analyze coffee production and processing in theeconomic structure of Minas Gerais, to determine its importance and its linkages to thestructure of the State economy, by using input-output matrix. Therefore, it is determinedlinkages indexes of Rasmussen-Hirschman, boarding fields, pure linkage index (GHS)and regional multipliers of product, income and employment. These applications arecomplementary to the identification of key sectors of the economy. The 1995 input-outputmatrix was used. Linkages indexes of Rasmussen-Hirschman and the analysis of theinfluence field pointed out that coffee production presents multiplying indicators abovethose of the economy, presenting higher backward and forward linkages. The coffeeprocessing sector presents only backward linkage effects. In the multipliers analysis, it wasobserved that coffee production sector showed better performance in terms of product andincome generation, while the coffee processing industry, in terms of product and of jobmultipliers
