The method used to determine the seasonal pattern was the centralized geometric moving average. As auxiliary resources for indication of patterns variation, the ordinal correlation coefficient of Spearman was used, test equality of two variances and comparison of seasonal index amplitude applied to both periods. It was observed a change in the pattern of seasonal variation for all products having increased chiefly the amplitude of seasonal index in 1979/84 period in relation to 1974/79.
