Abstract
We sought to assess the impact of cooperatives and associations on Brazilian family agricultural production.A stochastic spatial boundary was estimated. Then, variables that explained the technicalproductive efficiency were studied. The regional percentage of establishments linked to cooperativesand associations had a positive effect on local production and development. The Northeast showedlower technical efficiency than the South, Southeast and Midwest regions. In the South, the institutionalenvironment managed to promote policies with greater local integration (bottom-up) and, in theNortheast, it depended on more centralized actions with low insertion of local institutions (top-down).Schooling and technical assistance contributed to efficiency gains.
