Abstract

No presente trabalho analisa-se a importância das cooperativas no mercado de crédito rural do Brasil, com foco na visão de quem demanda empréstimos. Para tanto, realizou-se um estudo de caso referente à Cooperativa de Crédito Rural dos Fornecedores de Cana e Agropecuaristas da Região de Piracicaba (Cocrefocapi). O objetivo principal é mostrar a importância da Cocrefocapi no financiamento dos fornecedores de cana de Piracicaba, a partir da análise da influência de vários fatores presentes na decisão dos cooperados em escolher esta instituição como principal financiadora. Assim, foram elaborados e testados dois modelos econométricos de resposta qualitativa, além de várias análises descritivas. Os resultados mostram que o tamanho da terra é um fator que deve ser considerado ao se analisar a demanda por crédito agrícola. Além disso, não existe evidência econométrica que mostre que os associados com maior participação no capital institucional da Cocrefocapi tenham maiores incentivos para tomar empréstimos junto à cooperativa. Por outro lado, embora os fornecedores que tomaram empréstimos na Cocrefocapi a tenham escolhido principalmente por menores custos de transação, os resultados indicam que muitas destas pessoas tomaram empréstimos em outras instituições, pois, além de produzirem cana, conduzem outras atividades econômicas que não são financiadas pela Cocrefocapi......This paper analyzes the importance of cooperative institutions in the Brazilian market of rural credit, focusing on the vision of those who demand loans. For that, a study case was promoted regarding the Rural Credit Cooperative of Sugarcane Suppliers and Cattle Farmers in the Piracicaba Region (Cocrefocapi). The main objective is to show the importance of Cocrefocapi to finance sugarcane suppliers from Piracicaba, analyzing the influence of some factors in the decision of sugarcane suppliers, in order to choose this cooperative as the main financing institution. Two econometric models of qualitative response and a set of descriptive analysis were developed in this study. Results show that the land size is one factor which should be included when the demand for agricultural credit is analyzed. In addition, the econometric evidence shows that, bigger participation in the institutional capital of Cocrefocapi is not a factor which incentives members to borrow money in this Cooperative. On the other hand, although sugarcane suppliers who took loans in Cocrefocapi have chosen this institution because of lower transaction costs, results demonstrate that many of these people took loans in other institutions because they had other economic activities, which are not financed by Cocrefocapi.
