Brazil is one of the largest food producers in the world, making agribusiness a fundamental sector of the Brazilian economy. The country is the largest producer of sugarcane in the world, and the state of Paraná is the 5th largest national producer, accounting for 3.21% of production in the 2020/21 harvest. Sugarcane had its productivity reduced due to water deficiency, requiring the irrigation process, as this increases water consumption in the production process. Given this scenario, this article aims to apply the hybrid input-output model and the backward and forward linkage index, to determine which sectors of the sugar-energy complex of Paraná are considered key, in terms of direct and indirect consumption. of water in 2015. The results confirm that the production of sugarcane is responsible for most of the total water consumption of the sugar-energy complex, in addition to being considered the key sector of the sugar-energy complex of Paraná in 2015. Thus, it concludes The model of direct and indirect water consumption can be seen as a useful tool for designing water planning and saving policies, as well as expanding the provincial economy.
