The mamona agribusiness is important to the growth of the semi-arid northeastern region, therefore the mamona productive chain generates multiples products and by-products, amongst which we can detach the biodiesel, the glycerin, the ration for animals and the vegetal fertilizer. The mamona production as biodiesel production 3o Congresso Brasileiro de P&D em Petróleo e Gás input can contribute decisively to the economic and social development of Northeast Brazilian region, however, verified structural problems in all the sector of transports imply in loss of competitiveness for some types of agribusinesses. (CAIXETA and MARTINS, 2000) esteem to the agricultural products that the participation of transport cost in the final price of these products in the market is more than two times compared with the manufactured products. Being thus, the localization of Mamona´s Biodiesel Production Plants - MBPP must be implemented searching the configuration that minimizes the total cost of implantation and distribution. This paper applied the Capacity Location Problem (CLP) at the region included in the Pilot Production Chain of Mamona´s Biodiesel – PPC_MB in Ceará State, where the developed model calculated which and how many cities must have a PPBDM.
