Rating de cooperativas agropecuárias: uma contribuição metodológica / Rating methodology of agriculture cooperative: a proposal of methodology

Davi Rogério de Moura Costa 06 October 2005 (has links)
Com a promulgação da Constituição Federal de 1988, as cooperativas agropecuárias brasileiras deixaram de ser obrigadas a enviar informações relevantes sobre a sua gestão, apresentadas nos seus demonstrativos contábeis, à Secretaria Nacional de Cooperativismo (SENACOOP), órgão do governo federal que regulava, controlava e fiscalizava suas atividades. Assim, neste novo cenário, deixou de existir o órgão, a exemplo do que hoje é feito pela Comissão de Valores Mobiliários (CVM) para as empresas S/A, que estabelecia regras e responsabilidades para diminuir a assimetria de informação sobre a gestão entre os gestores, cooperados e mercado. Adiciona-se a isso o fato de, na década de noventa, ter ocorrido a extinção do Banco Nacional de Crédito Cooperativo (BNCC) e problemas macroeconômicos na agricultura, que elevam a necessidade das cooperativas obter recursos junto a terceiros. Diante do novo cenário e baseado em teorias econômicas que apontam que a existência de assimetria de informações, manifestadas nas formas de seleção adversa ou risco moral (moral hazard), gera ineficiência no funcionamento do mercado, mas que essas podem ser reduzidas por meio de mecanismos de sinalização, e que o rating pode ser usado para tanto, foi objetivo desta pesquisa criar uma metodologia de rating corporativo, específico para cooperativas agropecuárias, pelo fato de essas organizações se diferenciarem das demais por não atuarem com objetivo de lucro. A construção da metodologia ocorreu com base na revisão bibliográfica de teorias econômicas e da administração financeira, de trabalhos científicos que objetivavam avaliar risco de crédito e condição de solvência das cooperativas agropecuárias e nos materiais divulgados pelas principais agências que elaboravam rating no Brasil. Para poder comparar todas as propostas de metodologias das agências e trabalhos revisados, são usados os “Cs” do crédito, pois se notou que esses são fatores comuns entre todas as metodologias. A metodologia é validada, por meio de estudo de caso, para averiguar sua aplicabilidade em uma cooperativa agropecuária atuante no mercado de café. Durante sua aplicação, notou-se que todos os grupos de tópicos de assuntos e indicadores, a serem diagnosticados, são mensuráveis e comparáveis, sendo considerados pertinentes e importantes pelos executivos da organização avaliada. Os resultados obtidos permitem concluir que a metodologia criada é aplicável e que seus resultados seriam mais significativos se houvesse a discussão sobre os pesos dos indicadores e das notas dos tópicos e grupos, nos denominados comitês de rating, a exemplo do que é feito pelas agências que os elaboram. Como sugestão, é apresentada a necessidade de que novas aplicações da metodologia sejam realizadas para testá-la junto a outras organizações, de forma a consolidá-la como um sinalizador a ser usado pelo mercado e cooperado. / After the promulgation of the Federal Constitution in 1988, the Brazilian Agriculture Cooperative stopped being obligated to send important management information presented in their accounting demonstrations to the National Secretary of Cooperatives (SENACOOP). SENACOOP was a federal organ that regulated, controlled and supervised cooperatives activities and was terminated after 1998. Also, SENACOOP was responsible for establishing rules and reduce the information asymmetry among managers, people associated to the cooperation and market. Those responsibilities were similar to what is done by the Securities and Exchange Commission of Brazil (CVM) to the shareholder cooperatives. In addition, in the 1990s, the National Bank of Cooperative Credit (BNCC) was terminated and agriculture experienced macroeconomic problems. As a consequence, the necessity of the cooperatives to gain resources together with third part rose. Economic theories assert that the existence of asymmetry of information, manifested as adverse selection or moral hazard, creates market inefficiency. These problem could be reduced by the introduction of signalization mechanisms, like rating. The purpose of this research was create a methodology of cooperative rating. This is justify due to these organizations be different from others and because they do not work with profit as their objective. The methodology construction was based on the literature review on credit risk evaluation and solvency conditions of agriculture cooperatives and on available materials from the main agencies that elaborated rating in Brazil. The “Cs” of credit were used to compare the different methodologies proposed by the agencies and revised papers, because these are a common factor across all the methodologies. The methodology was corroborated by a case study of an agriculture cooperative which is active in the coffee market. During its application, it was noticed that every group of topics and indicators to be pinpointed are measurable and comparable, being considered relevant and important by executives of the evaluated organization. The gathered results allow to conclude that the created methodology is applicable. However, methodology results would be more significant if there was a discussion about the importance of the indicators and score of topics and groups in the nominated committees of rating, as is done by the agencies which elaborate them. As a suggestion new applications of the methodology need to be done in other organizations, to consolidate it as a signal to be used by the market and people involved in cooperatives.

Modernizace venkova spojená se zakládáním jednotných zemědělských družstev na Strakonicku. / Modernization of the countryside connected with the establishment of collective farms in the Strakonice region

Jirsa, Jiří January 2017 (has links)
(in English): The subject of this thesis is the modernization of rural areas. I use the case studies of three villages (Třebohostice, Mečichov, Chrášťovice), with similar amounts of owned land and population sizes, to analyze this process. I approach the study as a micro-historical probe. The main sources of empirical material are the local chronicles and archival documents from the local governments (MNV and largely ONV Strakonice and OV KSC Strakonice). I supplement this "history from above" with oral history interviews, which I use to glean how collectivization was evaluated retrospectively and the ways in which it was seen as having contributed to the local communities. I map the impact of the emerging collective farms, whether positive or negative, on the development of the individual villages, and describe the changes that took place in them.

Financial performance profile and evaluation of alternative equity management programs for farmers cooperative equity company

Smarsh, Andy January 1900 (has links)
Master of Agribusiness / Department of Agricultural Economics / David G. Barton / The goal of this thesis was to help Farmers Cooperative Equity Company (FCE) remain a firm, stable cooperative while increasing wealth of their patron owners. This thesis evaluated alternative equity redemption strategies to help FCE decide what decisions need to be made for proper use of equity for financing assets and increasing patronage returns. To develop an understanding of FCE and their current financial structures, we looked at the history of FCE and cooperatives in general. Then we gave a brief background of financial performance measures that were used to evaluate the profitability, solvency, liquidity, and efficiency of FCE. A cooperative performance profile was then run on FCE, by using a financial analysis program called PERFORM, to compare it to other agriculture cooperatives. The results for FCE were very strong in that they were performing at or above the 50th percentile range for many of the measures examined. FCE appears to be a very profitable, liquid, solvent, and efficient cooperative. We then used the results provided by the financial analysis program called PERFORM to make financial projections for the future to evaluate alternative equity redemption strategies for FCE. A computer program called FINPLAN was used to make the financial projections and evaluate the alternative equity redemption strategies. Five different strategies were evaluated and compared to the status quo, “strategy S0,” business as usual. The results showed that if the projections made for the future are correct, FCE would be able to return larger redemptions to patron owners by implementing an alternative equity redemption strategy that adheres to strict balance sheet management. Balance sheet management requires a cooperative to meet predetermined solvency and liquidity goals and then distributes the residual equity over and above that needed to finance assets, in combination with debt, as the equity redemption budget for that year. FCE could return larger redemptions while financing their operations through the use of patron equity and then return excess equity to patrons based upon cooperative usage. FCE’s general manager and board of directors have been provided with this thesis and the full project report. This thesis and project provide FCE with valuable information for them to make critical decisions on cooperative finance, including income distribution and equity management decisions.

Emprego de indicadores sócio-econômicos na avaliação financeira de cooperativas agropecuárias. / Application of social indicatores on financial evalution of rural cooperatives.

Menegário, Alexandre Hattnher 23 November 2000 (has links)
A maioria das cooperativas brasileiras preocupa-se em avaliar periodicamente apenas sua dimensão econômico-financeira, esquecendo-se de considerar que esse tipo de empresa é também uma sociedade de pessoas que tem, como objetivo principal, a prestação de serviços a seus associados. A introdução de indicadores sócio-econômicos, entendido como aqueles que refletem o desempenho social das cooperativas, visa justamente aprimorar os modelos, hoje existentes, de avaliação financeira de cooperativas agropecuárias. O presente estudo adquire importância na medida em que se fundamenta no elevado volume de crédito alocado no segmento cooperativista agropecuário brasileiro, acima de 3 bilhões de reais, em 1997, somente através de seu maior credor, o Banco do Brasil, onde cerca de 50% encontravam-se, à época, em situação de inadimplência. Utilizou-se, como embasamento teórico para este estudo, a Teoria da Agência, enfocando a relação entre administradores da cooperativa e associados como uma típica relação \"agente-principal\". Partindo-se dessa teoria, foram escolhidos três indicadores sócio-econômicos e um modelo logit oi ajustado com a finalidade de testar a influência dos mesmos na previsão de nadimplência de cooperativas agropecuárias paranaenses. Os resultados mostram que esses indicadores realmente interferem na previsão de inadimplência das cooperativas analisadas e que sua introdução num modelo que tem, como variáveis independentes, apenas indicadores econômico-financeiros, melhora o índice de acerto, expresso pelo número de casos classificados corretamente. Futuros estudos relacionados à avaliação financeira de cooperativas agropecuárias devem, portanto, considerar a inclusão de indicadores sócio-econômicos. / Most of the brazilian cooperatives are concerned with evaluating periodically only its economical and financial dimension, forgetting to consider that this kind of enterprise is also a society of people which have one main purpose: the assistance to its membership. The social indicators, which reflect the social performance of cooperatives, were introduced to improve the existent models of financial evaluation, developed for rural cooperatives. The importance of this study is based on the high amount of credit alocated on the Brazilian rural cooperativist segment. Only within the Banco do Brasil, its major creditor, this amount exceeded, in 1997, the sum of US$ 2,6 billion, with a default rate of about 50%. Using the theoretical basis of the \"Agency Theory\", this dissertation focused the relation between the managers of the cooperative and their membership, as a typical principal-agent relation. Starting with this theory, three social indicators were choosen and a logit model was adjusted to test the influence of the selected indicators on default prediction of rural cooperatives. The results indicated that these social indicators actually interfere on default prediction of rural cooperatives and that their introduction in a model which have only economic indicators, increase the number of events correctly classified. Therefore, future studies related to the financial evaluation of rural cooperatives should consider the introduction of social indicators.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Manuella Carolina Costa de Oliveira.pdf: 2651629 bytes, checksum: 4d7f394300eed380f483e8398a5f2cff (MD5) Previous issue date: 2014-02-26 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES / The main objective of this essay was to analyze the contribution of a central cooperative organization for honey producers, production commercialization and strengthening of the associative tendency in rural areas. It also includes as a point of interest; to situate the breeding process and organizational structure of this central, evaluating business strategies adopted for market integration, identifying their socioeconomic impacts on family farms and throughout the territory. Hence, it is asked which organizational and commercial strategies were adopted by the central cooperative? What were their socioeconomic impacts on the territory in which it operates? Such issues have been analyzed with reference to the Brazilian Central Cooperative Apicultural Semiarid - House APIS - located in the city of Picos, State of Piaui. The APIS House, founded in 2005, has a social body made up of eight credit unions, operating in 52 municipalities of the states of Piauí and Ceará, covering 960 beekeepers in the productive chain of honey. Focusing on the organization of honey producers in the city of Picos, the center becomes an important economic organization of the region of Picos, an instrument fostering productive reorganization projects and establishing commercial partnerships at the national and international levels. A qualitative approach was supported by combined techniques of data collection via semi-structured interviews, conducted from a script, field observation, literature review, document analysis and some technical resources. The central cooperative studied allowed us to observe, their contribution to the consolidation of the Local Productive Arrangement (APL), around the production and marketing of honey in the region of Picos. Such an arrangement contemplates the participation of cooperatives of natural honey producers, public agencies and private entities, allowing a particular dynamic in the territory. The study also highlighted the importance of the House APIS in the organization of beekeepers, in the stability of the price of honey in the local market, the expansion of production volume and, expansion of commercialization of honey markets, bringing impacts to job creation and expansion income as well as contributing to the dynamism and local economy. / Constitui como principal objetivo desta pesquisa analisar a contribuição de uma central de cooperativa de mel para a organização dos produtores, a comercialização da produção, e o fortalecimento do tecido associativo no espaço rural. Também constitui como fonte de interesse situar o processo de criação e a estrutura organizacional desta central, avaliando as estratégias comerciais adotadas para sua inserção nos mercados, identificando os seus impactos socioeconômicos sobre os produtores familiares e sobre o território. Questiona-se, nesse sentido: quais as estratégias organizacionais e comerciais adotadas pela central? Quais os seus impactos socioeconômicos para o território em que está inserida? Tais questões foram analisadas tendo como referência a Central de Cooperativas Apícolas do Semiárido Brasileiro – a Casa APIS – situada na cidade de Picos, no Estado do Piauí. A Casa APIS, fundada em 2005, possui um corpo social formado por oito cooperativas singulares, atuando em 52 municípios dos estados do Piauí e do Ceará, além de abranger 960 apicultores dentro da cadeia produtiva do mel. Tendo como foco organizar os produtores de mel na cidade de Picos, a central torna-se um instrumento importante de organização econômica da região de Picos, ao fomentar projetos de reorganização produtiva, como também estabelecer parcerias comerciais no âmbito nacional e internacional. A abordagem metodológica qualitativa foi amparada por técnicas combinadas de coleta de dados, por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas, realizadas a partir de um roteiro, além da observação de campo, pesquisa bibliográfica, análise documental e alguns recursos técnicos. A central de cooperativas estudada nos permitiu observar sua contribuição para a sedimentação do Arranjo Produtivo Local (APL), em torno da produção e comercialização do mel na região de Picos. Tal arranjo contempla a participação de cooperativas singulares produtoras de mel, de órgãos públicos e de entidades privadas, permitindo uma dinâmica particular no território. O estudo evidenciou ainda a importância da Casa APIS na organização dos apicultores, na estabilidade do preço do mel no mercado local, na ampliação do volume de produção e na ampliação dos mercados de comercialização do mel, trazendo impactos sobre a criação de empregos e a ampliação de renda, contribuindo para o dinamismo e a economia local.

Sociedade cooperativa de produção agropecuária: estudo dos ganhos indiretos dos cooperados / Cooperative society for agricultural production: a study of indirect swag cooperative

Anceles, Pedro Einstein dos Santos 12 November 2014 (has links)
A tese discute o tema contemporâneo do ganho indireto dos cooperados de sociedades cooperativas de produção agropecuária e agroindustriais. Procura responder por quais diferentes maneiras essas organizações adicionam valor econômico aos cooperados, e como os cooperados percebem as diferentes categorias de benefícios econômicos e não-econômicos. Foi realizada análise da cooperação na linha teórica da Nova Economia Institucional (NEI), com ênfase no mapeamento das percepções econômicas e não-econômicas dos cooperados nas relações existentes com a sociedade cooperativa de produção agropecuária e, ainda, na ótica da teoria da renda, com a análise dos benefícios econômicos e sociais do cooperado produtor rural pessoa física dentro da sociedade cooperativa de produção agropecuária. Para o estudo de caso, utilizaram-se como fonte de informações entrevistas com técnicos especializados e aplicação de questionários aos cooperados, cuja finalidade foi extrair dados qualitativos das sociedades cooperativas de produção agropecuárias e agroindustriais, de objetos sociais variados, localizadas no Estado do Rio Grande do Sul. Constataram-se transferências indiretas pelas sociedades cooperativas que são percebidas pelos cooperados na forma de ganhos pecuniários e não-pecuniários. Os ganhos não-pecuniários são relacionados ao status, conforto, conhecimento, segurança, entre outros, descritos como privilégios no âmbito dessas organizações. Tais ganhos não são voltados ao aumento de riqueza, mas contribuem para o aumento do bem-estar de todos os cooperados. Então, ao fim, é possível formular a conclusão que os cooperados percebem os ganhos indiretos das mais variadas formas, principalmente pela melhoria do bem-estar econômico e social. / The thesis discusses a contemporary theme on the indirect gain of members of the agricultural production cooperative society. It seeks to answer by which different ways these organizations add economic value to the cooperative member and how the member realize the various categories of economic and non-economic benefits. An analysis of cooperation was conducted under the theoretical framework of the New Institutional Economics - NIE, emphasizing the mapping of economic and non-economic perceptions of the existing cooperative relations with agricultural production cooperative society and yet from the perspective of the theory of income, analysis of the economic and social benefits of the cooperative member rural producer as individual into the cooperative agricultural production. To the case study, it were used as a source of information interviews with technical experts and applied questionnaires to cooperative members, to obtain qualitative data of agricultural and agro-industrial production cooperative societies, of various corporate purposes, located in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Forms of indirect transfers from cooperative societies are perceived by the cooperative members as pecuniary and non-pecuniary gain. The non-pecuniary gain is related to status, comfort, knowledge, security among others, described as privileges within those organizations. These gains are not geared to increasing wealth, but contribute to increase the well-being of all cooperative members. Therefore, in the end, one can conclude that the cooperative realize the indirect gains in the most variable ways, mainly by improving economic and social well-being.
