| Abstract | The aim of this study was to assessment of competitiveness of production systems of beef cattle of the west of Rio Grande do Sul, state, Brazil, trough the achievement of the typology of producers to better understand the scenario of the region with the biggest herd of Rio Grande do Sul. Sixty three big producers (farms with more than 900 ha) of the eight counties with the biggest herd of the region (Itaqui, Uruguaiana, Rosário do Sul, Alegrete, São Grabriel, São Borja, Santana do Livramento e Quaraí) were i nterviewed. For this semi-structured interview a questionnaire divided in four drivers was used: Technology (TEC), Management (GES), Market Relations (REL) and the Institutional Environment (AMB). The data from questionnaires were organized (Microsoft Exce l), and a statistic analyses were performed using the software Standards Aligned System 9.0 (SAS, 2002). A Multiple Correspondence Analysis (ACM) was performed to identify the relationship between owners and the analyzed variables ( drivers and sub-factors). A cluster analysis with the individual information of the livestock farmers was performed without a pre -defined number of clusters to be formed. After cluster analysis, three random clusters were identified and named according to the note presented on the variables (sub-factors and drivers): Low Level of Competitiveness (BNC), Middle Level of Competitiveness (MNC) and High Level of Competitiveness (ANC). Then, a graphic demonstration in Canonical Analysis was used to better visualize the clusters, and for better characterization and description of each cluster was used Discriminant Analysis (Stepdisc). This analysis helped to identify the factors that contributed most to divide and understand the differences between the three clusters. Comparing the cluste r BNC with the cluster MNC, the first one had pasture management and reproductive management below the second one. The producers with low competitiveness |
