Descripción:	This study evaluated the competitiveness of fruit exports from Minas Gerais, Brazil, between 2012 and 2022, compared to other Brazilian states. The focus was on transaction dimensions (asset specificity, uncertainty, and frequency) and governance structure. The methodology employed two key indicators to measure performance: Market Share (MS), which reflects the proportion of a region’s exports relative to the national total, and Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA), which identifies sectors where a region has a relative export advantage. It was observed that Minas Gerais fruit exports, although growing, remain insignificant in the national scenario, representing a small portion of the Brazilian total, despite the state being the fourth largest national fruit producer. The main difficulties identified include logistical bottlenecks, quality issues, and the concentration of production in a limited number of products. The practice of product triangulation, where exports are registered in other states, distorts Minas Gerais’ real data, masking its contribution and comparative advantage. Sustainability in Minas Gerais’ fruit export sector is driven by the adoption of technological innovations, such as genetic improvement, integrated pest and disease management, and soil and water conservation practices, which are crucial for differentiation in the international market. It is concluded that Minas Gerais faces structural and coordination challenges that limit its full insertion and competitiveness in the global fruit trade. The unification of fruit growers and the implementation of incentive policies are essential to overcome these obstacles and consolidate the state’s position in the international market.
