【 摘 要 】

The degree of concentration of banana production gross value in Paraná State was studied in the 1995-2010 period. The data base is available at IPARDES - Paraná Institute of Economic and Social Development. The degree of concentration was determined by the Concentration Ratio, the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index and the Theil Index. In the period studied, an average annual growth of 12.92% in the value of banana production in Paraná was observed; the poles of banana production are the Metropolitan region of Curitiba and the Norte Pioneiro mesoregion. Concentration Ratio was moderately high to very high at municipal level, and even higher at micro-region level; the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index showed similar magnitudes at mesoregional and microregional levels for concentration, while the municipal indicator shows a slight concentration. The Theil index showed stationary concentration levels in the microregional and municipal region and indicated the municipal mesoregion concentration.
