| Abstract (English): |
In search of greater competitiveness and lower transport costs, Brazilian agribusiness explores new outflow routes to export ports, among which the departures through the Amazonian Northern Arc. In an environment of investment rationalization and sustainability, evaluating these projects' main economic, social, and environmental benefits is necessary. This study aims to evaluate whether there are socioeconomic benefits to implementing two logistics projects in the Amazon region, Ferrogrão Railway and Araguaia-Tocantins Waterway. A cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) was applied, which consisted of analyzing the benefits of the projects, such as reduction in the cost of transport, emission of polluting gases, use of trucks, and energy efficiency, which were compared with the value of the investment in three scenarios (2018, 2025 and 2030). As a result, we found that Ferrogrão has the greatest benefits, reducing transport costs by BRL 130 million for each BRL 1 billion invested in 2030. The main conclusion was that based on the social and environmental benefits assessment, both projects contribute broadly to sustainable regional development. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |

O agronegócio brasileiro, em busca de maior competitividade e menores custos de transporte, explora novas rotas de escoamento com destino aos portos de exportação, dentre as quais as saídas pelo Arco Norte Amazônico. Em um ambiente de racionalização de investimentos e sustentabilidade, é necessário avaliar os principais benefícios econômicos, sociais e ambientais desses projetos. O objetivo deste estudo é avaliar se existem benefícios socioeconômicos com a implantação de dois projetos logísticos na região Amazônica, a Ferrogrão e a Hidrovia Araguaia-Tocantins. Foi aplicada uma análise de custo-efetividade (CEA), que consistiu na análise dos benefícios dos projetos, como: redução no custo de transporte, emissão de gases poluentes, utilização de caminhões e eficiência energética, que foram comparados com o valor do investimento em três cenários (2018, 2025 e 2030). Como resultado, constatamos que a Ferrogrão apresenta os maiores benefícios, redução de custos de transporte em aproximadamente R$ 130 milhões para cada R$ 1 bilhão investido em 2030. A principal conclusão foi que, a partir da avaliação de benefícios sociais e ambientais, ambos projetos contribuem de maneira ampla para o desenvolvimento regional sustentável.
