The objective of the present work is to analyze spatially the sugar exports of the Brazilian states, as well as to identify the levels of specialization and competitiveness of this sector in these areas. In this sense, it was elaborated an exploratory analysis of the spatial data (AEDE) through the global and local Moran I, and the calculation performance of the location quotient indexes, Market Share, relative participation of exports and participation of the sugar trade in the states. The results show that the sugar exports of the Brazilian states are spatially correlated, therefore, the relationship between the states of Paraná, São Paulo and Mato Grosso do Sul stands out. In addition, the relative indexes to international trade indicate levels of specialization and competitiveness concentrated around a reduced number of states.
