Abstract
Despite significant advances in Brazilian agriculture, logistics costs especially with transport and storage, remain the main barriers that limit the potential of Brazilian agribusiness. Therefore, the evaluation of the Brazilian logistics process performance can drive development and the investment required to meet the grain transport demand. The aim of this study was to analyze the relative efficiency of the logistics of the Brazilian corn export process of the main routes in force for the flow of production through the development of a performance measurement system that used as the methodology for data envelopment analysis (DEA). To define the performance measurement indicators was adopted the Balanced Scorecard (BSC), which structured the system on four models of efficiency analysis: financial, customer, internal business processes and learning / growth. The results shows that the reference route with better performance was the intermodal transport (road and waterway) from Mato Grosso state to the ports of Santarém - PA and Manaus - AM through the waterway terminal Miritituba - PA.
