The national section of sugarcane has great economical, social and environmental importance, being great generator of employment in rural areas, generation of exchange value and production of renewable and clean energy. In 2007, it generated 4 million jobs, benefitting a thousand municipal districts and collecting R$ 12 billion to the public safes. The increasing demand for the derivatives of the product demands of the plants to also plan the size of its production and its allocation of resources, a time that the market if has become more competitive, generating increasing profits and attracting the entrance of new producers. Thus, the present work had as objective to analyze the efficiency of sixteen gins plants of sugar cane-of-sugar of the state of São Paulo, producing greater of the Country, in 2006/07. To carry out the procedure we used the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), able to quantify the productive efficiency of plants that are, in order to facilitate the detection of inefficiencies and provide parameters to become efficient, as such as benchmarkings. The main results were that the the plants have different relations between their inputs - stocks, real estate and wages - and the product - sales revenue Thus, compared to the other, six proved to be technically efficient, while ten did not use its resources in the best possible way, and are classified as inefficient. With regard to scale efficiency, the number of companies that could identify and act at the point of minimum average cost was only four, which revealed that twelve were not operating with constant returns. It was concluded that the plants receiving sugar are efficient and are acting more rationally than others, allocating resources and producing properly, which was reflected in higher economic return, verified by performance indicators, combined with lower average costs. Since inefficient firms did not act in order to avoid waste of raw materials or work above the point of minimum average cost. Therefore, there was the need for inefficient plants take into account their benchmarks in order to properly allocate their goods and work in the optimum level, enabling them to become efficient, making them more competitive in the market, that would allow greater profitability of its factors.
