Abstract
The purpose of this work is to apply a transshipment model, based on the theory of linear programming in a problem of optimization of the flow cost of soybeans from the State of Mato Grosso. The model consisted of analyzing the cost of transportation through the current transportation infrastructure, proposing two new options, being waterway and railway, as well as maintaining the port capacity of Arco Norte. 2018 production and projections for 2025 and 2030 were also considered. The results showed that the greatest reductions in transportation costs in 2018 occurred in the flow of production through Arco Norte. In addition, the new intermodal routes have significantly changed the transportation matrix, contributing to Brazilian competitiveness in the foreign market and assisting in the development of the North and Northeast regions.
