REGIONAL CONCENTRATION OF GROSS PRODUCTION VALUE OF PINEAPPLE IN THE STATE OF PARANÁ, BRAZIL

Keywords: Fruit culture, Concentration index, Regional economy

Abstract

The cultivation of pineapple is an alternative profit earning within the agriculture status of the state of Paraná, Brazil. Commercial planting as a strategy for agricultural diversification is possible in subtropical conditions with low frost-caused losses. Current paper analyzed the concentration degree of the Gross Production Value (GPV) of the pineapple in the state of Paraná between 1995 and 2010 through data from the Instituto Paranaense de Desenvolvimento Econômico e Social (Ipardes). Concentration degree was calculated by the Concentration ratio [CR(k)], Gini´s Index (G) and Hall-Tideman Index (HTI). Results reveal that GPR of pineapple in the state of Paraná had a mean growth of 20% per annum during the period analyzed. Concentration ratio of four [CR(4)] and eight highest [CR(8)] of GPR of pineapple was slightly high for the municipalities and between high and very high for micro-regions. G showed shifts in regional concentration, at municipal, micro-regional and meso-regional levels, indicating a strong to very strong inequality for GPR of pineapple in the state of Paraná. HTI revealed similar shifts to concentration ratio with the four greatest participations.
