This article analyzes the consolidation of State of Paraná's agribusiness and its relation with MERCOSUR from 1999 to 2009, through the method of Geometric Growth Rate (GGR). As a corollary, it became evident that despite periods of crisis, all trading partners of Paraná, members of MERCOSUR, had expanded their import share. Exports from the state's agribusiness had a 4.68% GGR. Moreover, if member countries had a common vision towards strengthening the economic block, trade flow and complementarities would even greater.
