As a result, maps were created organized in clusters presenting the most cited authors and the most used keywords, in addition to listing the most cited sources, as well as the countries that published the most works on the topic, with emphasis on Brazil, which appears in second place in this ranking. The research provided an insight into the use of information technologies in agribusiness, through quantitative data, identifying some important points, such as the relationships between different areas of knowledge, as well as the most productive authors on this topic. The research made it possible to point out some limitations such as the small number of works found and indicate the carrying out of research aimed at specific regions such as semi arid regions.
