The development of fruit production in Northeast Brazil faced some challenges and limits in recent years. However, due to the advancement of new technologies and research, managed to advance in some respects, making favorable growth in production of certain crops, which are benefited by the growing international demand for commodities and the attractive price, providing income and employment for exporters, farmers and workers involved in the activity. Thus, this study is essential to analyze the behavior and the main sources of progress or decline in exports of cashew nuts and melon in the Northeast, through commonly known variables as influencers for exports of these products, which are: price of the product in international currency exchange rates, harvested area, average yield in production and the quantity produced by international competitors. The information used in the research were taken from AliceWeb the Ministry of Development System, Industry and Foreign Trade (MDIC), the Municipal Agricultural Production of the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) and IpeaData. To evaluate these influencing factors was made using the Shift Share methodology, using time series covering the period 1997-2013. The methodology that is used in paper proposes innovative in this type of analysis and is the decomposition of the value of exports of both commodities in the effects that hypnotize be definers of progress or setbacks in the value of Northeastern exports of both products. The results in the survey show that the Northeast is losing competitiveness relative to its main competitors (Vietnam and India) in the production and export of cashew nuts, both as regards the expansion area harvested as mainly relative yields, an evidence that the Northeastern production of cashew nuts advances in technological gap in relation to its two main competitors in the international market. Considering the production and export of melon by region, the evidence found in the survey suggest advances Northeastern participation in international melon market, demonstrating greater competitiveness compared to the production of this item in the main international competitors are Spain, Guatemala and the United States of America.
