The Brazilian dairy sector is suffering changes in its structural organization with the increase of the participation of relatively small business and also with the reduction of the action of one of the biggest business in this sector, the Parmalat. In front of these facts, it is relevant to characterize the process of restructure that is happening recently in the dairy sector and analyze how this process is affecting the economic performance in the period of 1997-2005. It was checked that a reduction happened in the concentration indexes, from the year of 2001 on. Besides, it was observed an expansion on the participation of relatively small business between 1998 and 2005, exception to the years of 2001 and 2002. With the increase of the total production of milk in the country, all the business grew up in real terms, but they reduced their relatively participation of the biggest business as the calculated concentration taxes. In every year, the position dynamic showed itself relatively more stable in the group on leader business. This way, the Parmalat crisis didn t changed a lot the position dynamic of the first group, because the business has continued being part of it; nevertheless, it leaves the second position, passing to the fourth inside the group. The Turnover was relatively elevated for the groups B and C, besides this supposition be more important only when it is considered the behavior of the leaders. In concerning to the spatial formation of the milk value received by the producer, in general, it was noticed changes in the caused relations between the first (1997-2000) and the second (2003-2005) period, occurring in this last the predominance of onecaused effects of the smallest states to the principal ones, unlike from what happened in the first period. As to the vertical formation of the prices between the levels of the market, it was observed a less active participation of the industry in the anticipations of the price variations; and, a more active participation of the producer in 2003-2005. However, concerning the economic performance of the processing sector, only the C and UHT milk segments showed evolution of the consistent limits with results got by the concentration taxes. Possibility, this happened because the importance of Parmalat to these segments and also because of the presence of new regional trades that took advantage of the vacuum left by the business, specifically in the segment of long life milk. Still, there are no evidences that the structural changes had reduced the limits of commercialization to the processing industry as a whole. This last conclusion can be the results of the intrinsic limitations to the study, especially to the limitations concerning to the datums. So we propose the realization of new studies in this business, using bigger datum rows, or still, more disassociated (in business level), as bigger information about the behavior of the production costs that could evaluate more accuracy the impacts of the structure on the Brazilian industry performance of milk processing.
