Abstract

This text aims to promote a reflection on the subject of the privileged geographical location that is credited to the State of Mato Grosso do Sul, analyzing the point of view of its trade relationships, based on the exports of commodities. This essay does not consider “logistic efficiency” as a given, as a value in itself. The relationships of production have not reached a level of maturity in a way that designs, defines and funds a technical apparatus that can be called “efficient” in its displacement costs. There is an unsatisfactory materiality that, if it does not compromise the international insertion of the state, at the very least weakens it. Methodologically, the notion of spatial productivity developed by Milton Santos is used. The reflections presented in this text may also be appropriate for cases in other units of the federation whose economic dynamics are based on the production of commodities.

Keywords: Spatial productivity; Logistic efficiency; Commodities; Geographic location.
