Abstract
Rural agro-industries are experiencing great difficulties to commercialize their products on a retail basis due to low production scale and legal requirements. An alternative may be the direct commercialization to consumers. Current analysis studies the commercialization channels used by beef and pork Brazilian rural agroindustries and reports on the representation of direct sales of these establishments in Brazil and in each region. A review of the literature was undertaken coupled to a statistical investigation of the 2006 Cattle and Agriculture Census. Results show that direct sales are the main channel of commercialization used by rural meat agro-industries. On a lower scale there is the commercialization by middlemen, industries, integrated industries, cooperatives and the government. Direct sales are an opportunity to obtain aggregated value for agricultural products more in line with the northern and northeastern regions of Brazil
