Análise dos riscos atrelados ao processo produtivo de soja

Abstract

This research aimed to analyze the risks linked to the soybean production process in a rural family economy property due to its impacts on fertilizer purchase decisions. Impacts are centered on key purchasing variables: quality, quantity, price and time. Data collection was done through documentary research and semi-structured interviews. The analysis of the data is based on Kimura (1998) and Sepulcri (2006) theories related to risks, and, for the key purchasing variables Baily et al. (2010). Through the analysis of the interviews, along with the documentary research it is concluded that the rural property of the studied family economy does not have: risk management since for most of the examples presented there was no measurement; there are no concrete criteria for purchasing inputs; there is no pretension to expand the horizons of purchases of inputs in other municipalities or the search for other means of external credits. All these negative points end up giving risks to the results of the periods, with impacts on the variables of purchase, better discussed throughout the work. These results contribute to property management and support other producers and advisory professionals. They also contribute to the purchasing literature by relating purchasing variables to risk aspects in multiple aspects
