The objective of the present work was to outline a current panorama of the agricultural cargo transportation service due to the economic importance that agriculture and logistics have in Brazil. Through this, it was possible to verify the existence of limiting factors that cause losses in the competitive and comparative advantages acquired in Brazilian agricultural production. To minimize these losses, investments in infrastructure in transport services are indispensable, but they are below what is necessary for the current reality.
