Abstract

This research examines the historical process of forming the common bean production chain in Brazil, discussing deregulation and restructuring processes. During much of Brazil's agricultural history, common beans evolved as an intercropping crop, planted with corn or cassava. The rural exodus process (with two movements, in 1960 and 1980) caused the demand for beans within the country, resulting in higher yields for farmers, which generated the evolution and development of specific technologies for the crop. What is observed is that the chain coordination process was hampered by tax laws, which removed middlemen from the negotiations, and was also hampered by the competition of beans with more competitive products on the international stage.
