The quality of the logistical network is an important aspect of commercial relations between countries, especially in the case of agricultural goods, as speed and care in delivery are of extreme importance because their greater perishability. Thus, this work aims to assess the impact of logistical efficiency on exports of agricultural goods, in the period between 2007 and 2018, for a group of 168 countries. For that, it was proposed to carry out a descriptive analysis of a logistic efficiency indicator and to estimate a regression based on the gravity model. The descriptive analysis showed that the countries with the worst performance are the poorest and those on the African continent, while those with the best results are those with high income. The estimated regression revealed that greater logistical quality positively affects agricultural exports. Thus, it is necessary to discuss which policies and actions should be taken in order to improve the logistics network in the countries, stimulating projects aimed at improving infrastructure, traceability and making customs procedures more efficient.
