In the studies on problems of economic growth in Latin America, the use of the business efficiency approach is limited as a possible solution to the different shortcomings; this was the motivation to focus this research on the characterization of strategic Brazilian agribusiness groups with the inclusion of other concurrent countries in the Economática database. The epistemological support consists on the conception of a relation between the concepts, strategic groups, business performance and economic growth. The main contribution of this study is the creation of strategic groups, shaping business performance, suggesting elements to explain the behavior of indicators that explain economic growth, all this was successfully achieved as the Fuzzy Set Theory was used. The sample comprised 34 companies listed in ECONOMÁTICA, all of them with observations on the different indicators on study for 11 years(2005-2015).

Keywords : strategic groups; business performance and economic growth; agro-food sector; fuzzy set theory..
