In view of the importance of fruit growing for the economy of Northeast Brazil, this work seeks an answer to the problem: There is a spatial expansion of fruit production in the Northeast? With this, the present work seeks to verify the existence of a spatial expansion of the products derived from fruticulture in the Northeast region of Brazil. For that, an econometric methodology was used to encompass the spatial proximity effects of banana, orange, bayberry, mango, papaya, passion fruit and melon. From this procedure it was possible to verify that the crops studied in the municipalities of the Northeast show correlations with production in neighboring municipalities. In addition, it has been found that as coconut-bay and passion-fruit cultures a difficulty to expand spatially in the north-south direction. It was also found that as banana and coconut productions tend to expand in the East-West direction. The melon culture tends to expand in the South-North and East-West directions.
