The objectives of this research consisted on characterizing and analyzing the regulatory measures issued by Brazil to the SPS and TBT agreements, and determining the reasons that influenced the State institutions on the issuing of notifications to the agribusiness imports, between 1996 and 2008. The methodology consisted of a qualitative approach, through descriptive analysis of the notifications, and a quantitative approach, where were determined the relationships between the economic indicator and the national agribusiness indicators in the issuing of such notifications. The results showed that the Brazilian notifications to these agreements had an ongoing growth in this period with the justification of providing safe food and protection to human, animal, and plant health. Moreover, it showed an inverse relationship between the competitive indicator of Brazilian agribusiness and the investment in this sector, with the issuance of these notifications and, a direct relationship between the growth indicators of the national economy and the issuance of these measures. It can be concluded that these regulatory measures implemented by the government institutions are actually a reflex of the actions and functions of the State, together with the market players, defined in terms of the factors that describe the development of agribusiness.
