The transportation costs are one of the main factors for companies’
competitiveness. In order to decrease the costs, companies are
frequently searching for different ways to transport their products to their
consumers. This paper analyzes the economic viability of meat transport
from the South to the North and Northeast of Brazil, using intercoastal
port services. Using a transport cost optimization model and linear programming,
our results indicate the economic feasibility of this option.
