Abstract

This article approaches the expansion of sugarcane agribusiness in Goiás through the State’s action according to government policies such as the National Biofuels Policy – RenovaBio. To develop this research, we performed an analysis of the agribusiness concentration over the years and the RenovaBio legislation, as well as its effects on a possible new expansion. We concluded that the new policy for the state of sugarcane agribusiness, the RenovaBio, has the main purpose of encouraging the generation of biofuels in Brazil justified by the agreement established at the Paris Conference. In addition, by implementing the RenovaBio, the [ production of agrofuels (including ethanol) in Brazil tends to increase evidently leading to an enhanced productivity of sugarcane agribusiness through improved technology for the mechanization and genetics of sugarcane variety, which may intensify the expansion of sugarcane areas to the Southwest Micro-region of the state of Goiás in the remaining areas of Cerrado.
