Many studies related to productive chain efficiency and competitiveness are cited in the literature. However, few scientific works have investigated the aquaculture sector and its chains. In this context, this paper aims to investigate the development of the aquaculture sector by evaluating the viability of shrimp farming at SÃ£o Paulo State, Brazil. For this purpose, a methodology that analyses agrifood chain competitiveness was adopted. The methodology consists in electing and analyzing competitiveness and efficiency drivers. This methodology was applied to studies of business viability for the first time. Traditional viability analyses are based on cost-benefit analysis, which neglects a systematic approach of a productive chain. The results indicate that the methodology proposed was efficient for viability analysis on the productive chain level. The stages of processing and distribution presented barriers, which should be analyzed in order to improve chain competitiveness.
