The best strategy whereby soybean producers in Amambai in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, may have the best logistic advantage by selling or storing grain is analyzed. Research employed exploratory and descriptive methodology of secondary data on freight and storage prices, soybean production and price of sack for the 2012/2013, 2013/2014 and 2014/2015 harvests. Primary data collected in interviews with producers of a cooperative in the region were also used. Results showed great uncertainty with regard to storage time, a datum that storage and freight costs directly impact the producers´ income. Research revealed that storage is a must due to oscillations in the price of soybean. A greater income has also been reported when commercialization occurred 30 days after harvest.Downloads
