We aimed to apply the policy analysis matrix in order to analyze three crops of bean
produced in Goiás state, Brazil. Production data were collected from farmers and agroindustry,
we considered bean production and industrial costs, and was considered the transportation and
storage costs. The results show that the first and second crop of beans are not competitive, and
the third harvest, a scenario a little better than the other two seasons, but needs investment too.
Through this study, it can be noted that the non-competitiveness of the product is mainly by the
government. To be competitive in the region is not enough to study the latest technology, public
actions should be adopted to benefit and give the product competitiveness.
Key words: Bean; Goiás; Policy Analysis Matrix (PAM).
