Observou-se a presença do arrendamento e da parceria em todo país, com grande heterogeneidade em formato, resultados da produção e provavelmente em ganhos de eficiência. A hipótese que orientou a pesquisa é que tal heterogeneidade não se explica apenas a partir das conhecidas diferenças regionais, e que por isto é necessário conhecer - como se tentou fazer neste trabalho - os principais condicionantes que regem as relações contratuais entre arrendatários, parceiros e proprietários. Sustenta-se que o arrendamento e a parceria, que no passado tiveram presença marcante no sistema agrário brasileiro, perdem expressão como mecanismos de acesso de pequenos produtores à terra de médios e grandes proprietários. Segundo a hipótese discutida no trabalho, o arrendamento e parceria estariam cada vez mais restritos ao contexto institucional (sócioeconômico, político, cultural) dos produtores mais capitalizados e experientes, os quais teriam condições produtivas e financeiras de aproveitar oportunidades de negócios e para se inserir nas cadeias agroindustriais mais complexas e estruturadas (por exemplo, soja, milho, cana de açúcar e álcool, pecuária bovina, arroz irrigado) sem a necessidade de imobilizar capital na compra de terras. Para os proprietários a opção pelo arrendamento (e parceria) encontra uma variedade de motivações, desde eliminar as preocupações relacionadas à gestão da atividade produtiva, evitar os riscos inerentes à agricultura até suprir a falta de capacidade (gerencial) e condições (financeiras) para explorar diretamente um negócio que é cada vez mais complexo e exigente. Conclui-se que a utilização do arrendamento e da parceria no Brasil voltado para pequenos produtores é um fenômeno geograficamente localizado e que, em geral, os contratos envolvem produtores mais capitalizados. O pequeno produtor geralmente não consegue obter um desempenho satisfatório em decorrência da dificuldade de acesso aos mercados, do nível de riqueza, da falta de qualificação e experiência para se consolidar na atividade produtiva. Nota-se um freqüente burlamento dos contratos, embora estejam regulamentados pela legislação para atender às reivindicações dos contratantes. Os prazos são diluídos em favor de interesses pontuais dos proprietários, principalmente, a recuperação de solos degradados e ocupação de áreas passíveis de conflitos agrários. Admite-se que sem a superação da instabilidade da propriedade (i.e., melhor definição dos direitos de propriedade) e a criação de mecanismos de incentivos para os próprios beneficiários, dificilmente os contratos de arrendamento e parceria tornar-se-ão uma opção viável de acesso à terra. Pelo contrário, esses contratos limitar-se-ão a um instrumento paliativo para tratar da grave questão agrária brasileira. O corolário disso seria um aumento da ineficiência na alocação dos recursos e das desigualdades sociais no meio rural. / Abstract: The central objective of this thesis is to analyze leasing and sharecropping relationships in the Brazilian rural areas in the last two decades. The presence of leasing and sharecropping in every state of the country with great heterogeneity in format, production results and probably in won of efficiency was observed. The hypothesis that guided this research is that such heterogeneity is not just explained by regional differences. But this work also tried to discover the main factors that govern the contractual relationships between tenants, sharecroppers and landlords. It is considered that leasing and sharecropping practiced in the Brazilian agrarian system in the past, lost influence as an access mechanism of small producers to the lands of medium and big landlords. According to the hypothesis discussed in this work, leasing and sharecropping became more and more restricted to the institutional context (socioeconomic, political, cultural) of producers who were more capitalized and had more expertise. Only they would have productive and financial conditions for taking advantage of business opportunities and to participate in the agro-industry chains that became more complex and structured (for instance, soy, corn, cane of sugar and alcohol, bovine livestock, irrigated rice) without the need of investing capital in the purchase of lands. For the landlords, the option of leasing and sharecropping has a variety of reasons ranging from eliminating the concerns related to the administration of the productive activity, to avoiding the inherent risks to agriculture like the lack of managerial capacity and financial conditions for developing businesses that are more and more complex and demanding. The study concluded that leasing and sharecropping in Brazil for small producers is a geographically located phenomenon and usually, the contracts involve more capitalized producers. The small producer does not usually get satisfactory results due to his difficult access to markets, his level of wealth, his lack of qualification and experience to be able to consolidate productive activity. Frequent noncompliance of contracts is noticed, even though they are regulated by legislation to assist the claims of the contracting parties. The periods are altered in favor of the punctual interests of the landlords, mainly, the recovery of degraded soils and occupation of areas susceptible to agrarian conflicts. It is admitted that without the elimination of the instability of property (i.e., better definition of the property rights) and the creation of mechanisms of incentives for beneficiaries, it will be difficult for leasing agreements and partnership to become a viable option of access to land. On the contrary, these contracts will be limited to a palliative instrument for treating the serious Brazilian agrarian problem. The corollary of that would be an increase of inefficiency in the allocation of resources and the creation of more social inequalities in the rural area. / Doutorado / Desenvolvimento Economico, Espaço e Meio Ambiente / Doutor em Desenvolvimento Economico

Thesis (MScAgric)--Stellenbosch University, 2005. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: It is generally acknowledged that South African commercial agriculture will have to be restructured to integrate the previously disadvantaged communities in the agricultural economy of the country. This is so because of the prevailing disparities between agriculture amongst the black societies and the traditional "white" commercial agriculture. After the inception of the ANC governance in 1994, affirmative action measures viz inequalities and inequitable access to resources and markets became necessary to remove these imbalances. However, it is not seen as a quick fix; it will take decades to eradicate the imbalances created during the period of apartheid rule. A farmworker equity-sharing scheme (FWESS) was first introduced at the Whitehall farm in the Grabouw area of the Western Cape in 1992. The South African Department of Land Affairs adopted this strategy in the face of land reform as one of the major Land Redistribution for Agricultural Development programmes to provide basic support to the farmworkers in order to enable them to participate in the financial stakes of the commercial farming in South Africa. The main research objective of this study was to evaluate the performance of FWESSs and assess the contribution of the programme to the improvement of the living standards of the previously disadvantaged individuals, viz farmworkers. This was achieved through a survey, which included five FWESSs administered by the Cape Town regional office of the Department of Land Affairs (DLA). Interviews were conducted amongst the ordinary farmworkers, members of the board of worker trustees and the original owners. Among other things, the motivations, characteristics of governance, socio-economic factors and financial performance of the schemes were evaluated. It is evident from the investigation that the original owners are in the forefront in the initiation of the equity-sharing schemes on their farms. Job security was shown as the most important motivation by some farmworkers for their participation in equity-sharing schemes, while other shareholders (original owners) indicated that the initial capital injection in the business and the empowerment of the farmworkers through capital appreciation and dividends was the most important motivation. Equity-sharing schemes are a relative new concept in farms that were included in this study and after the initial negative impact with the change in the management of the organisation, the schemes are faring good financially. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Dit word algemeen erken dat die Suid-Afrikaanse kommersiële landboubedryf herstrukturering sal moet ondergaan om voorheen-benadeelde gemeenskappe by die landbou-ekonomie van die land te integreer. Dit is toe te skryf aan die ongelykhede wat ten opsigte van die landboubedryf tussen swart gemeenskappe en die tradisionele "blanke" landboubedryf bestaan. Na die bewindoomame van die ANC-regering in 1994, is maatreëls vir regstellende aksie ten opsigte van ongelykheid en onregverdige toegang tot hulpbronne en markte in werking gestelom hierdie ongelykhede uit die weg te ruim. 'n Kitsoplossing is egter nie moontlik nie; dit sal tientalle jare neem om die ongelykhede wat gedurende die apartheidsbewind geskep is, uit te wis. Die eerste plaaswerker kapitaaldelingskema is in 1992 op die Whitehall-plaas in die Grabouw-distrik van die Wes-Kaap ingestel. Die Suid-Afrikaanse Departement van Grondsake het hierdie strategie as een van die hoofprogramme vir grondherverdeling vir die ontwikkeling van die landboubedryf aanvaar, om basiese steun aan die plaasarbeiders te verleen om hulle in staat te stelom 'n deel in die finansiele belang van die kommersiële landboubedryf in Suid -Afrika te verkry. Die hoof navorsingsdoelwit van hierdie studie was om die uitwerking van die plaaswerker kapitaaldelingskema te evalueer en die bydrae van die program tot die verbetering van die lewenskwaliteit van voorheen-benadeelde individue, naamlik plaasarbeiders, te beoordeel. Dit is bewerkstellig deur middel van 'n opname wat die vyf plaaswerker kapitaaldelingskemas wat deur die Departement Grondsake se streekkantoor in Kaapstad geadministreer word, te betrek. Onderhoude is met gewone plaasarbeiders, lede van die raad van arbeidertrustees en die oorspronklike eienaars gevoer. Evaluering is onder andere gerig op die motivering agter deelname aan die skemas, kenmerke van die bestuur daarvan, sosio-ekonomiese faktore en die finansiële prestasie van die skemas. Dit het uit die ondersoek duidelik geword dat die oorspronklike eienaars die voortou geneem het met die inisiriëng van die kapitaaldelingskemas op hul plase. Werksekuriteit is as die belangrikste motivering deur plaasarbeiders gegee vir die deelneming aan die kapitaaldelingskemas, terwyl die ander deelnemers (oorspronklike eienaars) die aanvanklike kapitaal-inspuiting in die boerderyen die bemagtiging van die plaasarbeiders deur kapitaalappresiasie en dividende as die belangrikste motiverings aangedui het. Kapitaaldelingskemas is 'n relatiewe nuwe konsep by boerderye wat in hierdie studie betrek is en na die aanvanklike negatiewe bëinvloeding met die verandering in die bestuur van die organisasie, is die skemas besig om finansiël goed te vaar.

Thesis (MAgricAdmin)--Stellenbosch University, 2005. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The study evaluated farmworker equity-sharing schemes administered by the Worcester regional office of the Department of Land Affairs in the Western Cape. The objectives were to investigate the performance of farmworker equity-sharing schemes against recent literature, to evaluate the motivation for the establishment of these schemes and whether they served the purpose for which they were established. Through investigating the role these schemes play in improving the farmworkers ' livelihood, the study investigated the changes farmworkers experienced on the farm since the establishment of the schemes. The perceptions of farmworkers regarding the schemes were also investigated. The study found that at all the farms evaluated there was a lack of formal training to all the levels of farmworkers, including committee members and shareholder workers. These farms did not have the funds to finance training programmes for their farmworkers. Poor training impeded farmworkers to utilise their skills and participate in decision making on the farm. Contrary to the objectives of financial participation and farmworker equity-sharing schemes, most of these schemes did not achieve the broad objectives of the participation schemes such as empowering their workers. Living and working conditions seem to have improved on most of the farms although some farms seem to have experienced no change at all. The ESTA Laws could be the cause of the improvements in housing and working conditions but not the implementation of the farmworker equity-sharing schemes. Respondents did not seem to experience discrimination due to gender. Financially the schemes are not performing well. This is evident from the number of schemes that were liquidated due to financial problems and for which financial statements could not be obtained. These schemes face various institutional and structural challenges, which includes financial challenges. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie studie het plaaswerker-aandeelhouerskemas wat deur die Worcesterstreekskantoor van die Departement van Grondsake in die Wes-Kaap bestuur word, geëvalueer. Die oogmerke van die studie was om die verrigting van plaaswerkeraandeelhouerskemas teenoor onlangse literatuur te ondersoek, om die motivering vir die vestiging van hierdie skemas te evalueer en te bepaal of hulle wel die doel dien waarvoor hulle gevestig is. Deur die rol van hierdie skemas in die verbetering van plaaswerkers se bestaan te ondersoek, het die studie ook ondersoek ingestel na die veranderinge wat sedert die vestiging van die skemas deur plaaswerkers ervaar is. Die plaaswerkers se persepsies van die skemas is ook ondersoek. Die studie het bevind dat daar by al die plase wat betrek is 'n tekort aan formele opleiding aan al die vlakke van plaaswerkers was, met inbegrip van komiteelede en aandeelhouer-werkers. Hierdie plase het nie oor die fondse beskik om opleidingsprogramme vir hulle plaaswerkers te finansier nie. Swak opleiding strem plaaswerkers in die toepassing van hulle vaardighede en in hulle deelname aan besluitneming op die plaas. In stryd met die doelwitte van finansiële deelname en plaaswerker-aandeelhouerskemas het hierdie skemas nie in hulle doel geslaag nie. Woon- en werksomstandighede op die meeste plase het blykbaar sedert die vestiging van die skemas verbeter, alhoewel sommige plase skynbaar geen vemaderinge ondergaan het nie. Die Wet op die Uitbreiding van Sekerheid op Verblyfreg kan 'n verklaring vir die verbetering in behuising en werksomstandighede wees, en nie noodwendig die implementering van die plaaswerker-aandeelhouerskemas nie. Respondente het volgens alle aanduidings nie diskriminasie op grond van geslag ondervind nie. Die skemas presteer finansieel nie goed nie. Dit is duidelik uit die getal skemas wat as gevolg van finansiële probleme gelikwideer is en waarvoor finansiële state nie verkry kon word nie. Hierdie skemas staar verskeie institusionele en strukturele uitdagings in die gesig, waaronder ook finansiële uitdagings.
