Abstract
Abstract The Rural Collective Actions are presented with the aim of facing and overcoming difficulties and particularities of the agricultural business, as well as obtaining gains and advantages, in an environment that suffers from constant transformations. This study investigates which reasons determine the choice of the Rural Collective Action model Rural Warehouse Condominium, under the perspective of the Theory of Logic of Collective Action. For this purpose, we conducted the Statistical Analysis, Multiple Correspondence and Correlation Analysis. The results indicate motivating factors for the rural model through Social, Logistics, Political, Economic, Management and Collective Action Logic variables, being of more significant burden: (i) smaller collective actions are easier to promote collective interest; (ii) rural producers work together to promote common interests; (iii) in a small collective group, individual efforts have a higher influence on results; and, (iv) the smaller is the collective group, the closer is the individual will be to achieving collective benefits. The correlation analysis shows stronger relationships between cost reduction with freight and cost reduction with transport (0.833); and, between the lack of financing lines for small and medium producers and the lack of financing lines for agricultural warehouse (0.741).
Highlights
Based on the Theory of Logic of Collective Action by Mancur Olson (1965), this article investigates the reasons that determine the choice of the collective action model Rural Warehouse Condominium, whose technical procedure was a survey with a standardized questionnaire
The Collective Action Logic theory clearly demonstrates that from the moment that individuals have common economic objectives, a collective action can arise. This argument is apparent to Rural Warehouse Condominiums
The small group of rural producers with common economic goals is present in the rural collective action model, through warehouse
Summary
Even with great representativeness and importance, Brazilian agribusiness still faces some challenges like inefficient and inadequate distribution logistics, and infrastructure problems. Aiming to circumvent these difficulties, rural collective actions such as the Rural Warehouse Condominiums emerge (Filippi & Guarnieri, 2019; Filippi et al, 2019). In addition to circumventing the warehouse deficit, among other logistical bottlenecks, farmers reduce unnecessary costs, commercialize production without intermediaries and obtain advantages from the condominium system and warehouse (Filippi, 2017, 2020; Filippi et al, 2018b, 2019; Filippi & Guarnieri, 2018, 2019; Filippi et al, 2018a)
