In Brazil, the handling of public stores coincided with the Guaranteed Minimum Prices Policy (PGPM) that historically was subordinated to diverse objectives than others related to the regulated stabilization of markets. We focus in special the period mediated by the years of 1965 and 1998, with emphasis in the approval of a new set of ordering rules for the (non retail) markets, a strengthening element for the better arbitration of the public manager in the regulation of the agricultural markets in the country. Contradictorily, however, such potential of intervention chocked with the fiscal crisis of the Brazilian State and in the financial pressure deterioration of the system, besides of the macroeconomic scenario of great exposure of the Brazilian economy to the international market in 90th years. Particularly after the implantation of the Real Plan, the strategy of an economic policy referred to circumstantial external market prices, appropriated by means of key-parameter of the agricultural and commercial policies, was too dangerous. Lacking consistent rules to order the commercialization, the proper public performance tended to aggravate the market instability making impracticable, by this means, the coordination of the interchange as a basis for the regulated stability of food prices. In truth, such stability could constitute one of the elements to improve consistent policies of food security, especially in an asymmetric reality like that one of Brazil, where the public institutionality with stores traditionally lacked any explicit correlation with so urgent theme. / Nosso intuito neste trabalho de tese foi repensar os limites, avan?o e retrocesso da interven??o do Estado na comercializa??o agr?cola, particularmente quanto ? efetividade do manejo de estoques de alimentos pela inst?ncia p?blica que interv?m, forjando condi??es de ordem e liquidez nos mercados de commodities. No Brasil, o manejo de estoques p?blicos coincidiu com a Pol?tica de Garantia de Pre?os M?nimos (PGPM), pol?tica esta que historicamente foi subordinada a objetivos outros que os da estabiliza??o regulada de mercados. Focalizamos em especial o per?odo mediado pelos anos de 1965 e 1998, com ?nfase na aprova??o de novo conjunto de regras ordenadoras dos mercados de atacado, que representou um elemento de potencializa??o da arbitragem do gestor p?blico na regula??o dos mercados agr?colas no pa?s. Contraditoriamente, por?m, tal potencial de interven??o esbarrava na crise fiscal do Estado brasileiro e no agravamento da press?o financeira sobre o sistema, ademais do cen?rio macroecon?mico de maior exposi??o da economia brasileira ao mercado internacional nos anos 90. Particularmente a partir da implanta??o do Plano Real, exacerbaram-se os perigos da estrat?gia de pol?tica econ?mica lastreada na assun??o dos pre?os (circunstanciais) do mercado externo, apropriados como par?metro-chave das pol?ticas agr?cola e comercial. Faltando regras consistentes de ordenamento da comercializa??o, a pr?pria a??o p?blica tendia a agravar a instabilidade de mercado inviabilizando-se, desta forma, a coordena??o do interc?mbio como base da estabilidade regulada de pre?os alimentares. Como sabido, tal estabilidade se constituiria em um dos condicionantes do avan?o de pol?ticas consistentes de seguran?a alimentar, sobretudo em realidades como a brasileira, em que a institucionalidade p?blica com estoques tradicionalmente prescindiu de qualquer correla??o expl?cita com t?o premente quest?o.
