Abstract

This case investigated the agriculture cooperatives in Brazil, in comparison with the top ten in the world. The first Brazilian cooperative was created in 1889, with the dawn of the Republic, Cooperativa Econômica dos Funcionários Públicos de Ouro Preto, located at Minas Gerais state, southeastern Brazil. Originally, it was founded to foster the cooperate consumption of agriculture products. However, it took 82 years until the Brazilian Federal Government regulates Cooperatives, issuing Law no 5,764, from December 16, 1971. There are currently 13 different types of cooperatives operating in Brazil (Agriculture ones included), represented by the Brazilian Cooperatives Organization (Organização das Cooperativas Brasileiras - OCB). In this article, we compared the current facts and figures of the Brazilian agriculture cooperatives along with World Co-operative Monitor's, discussed in this descriptive single case. We found increasing participation of the agriculture cooperatives in the Brazilian economy, approximately 1,618 cooperatives, representing 23 percent of cooperatives in 2018. Agriculture cooperatives operation in Brazil were then analyzed, critical success factors and best practices to the sector were discussed in this article. Finally, future research recommendations complete the present article.
