\"\"According to 2017 data from the United States Department of Agriculture, Brazil is the holder of the second-largest herd of cattle in the world, becoming one of the most important economic activities in the country. However, there are historical conflicts between producers and the slaughterhouse industry regarding the purchase and sale of cattle. Researchers from Universidade Estadual de Maring\u00e1 (UEM), Universidade do Oeste Paulista (Unoeste) and Kansas State University, in the United States, identified the influence of trust between cattle ranchers and the meat industry in choosing the contractual arrangement for the purchase and sale of cattle. The article \u201cContractual arrangements in the beef chain: an analysis of trust<\/a>\u201d was published in the Ci\u00eancia Rural (vol. 50, n\u00ba 10).<\/p>\n

The contractual arrangement defines how the transactions between the parties will be carried out, therefore, the study included 30 cattle breeders and five cattle slaughterhouses in the western region of S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil. Questions such as the number of slaughterhouses with which they trade, the number of years negotiating with these slaughterhouses, the form of agreements, among others, were asked of the breeders. The answers were analyzed using a confidence variable, from 0 to 10. The results of the research showed that trust has a significant influence on the choice of the rancher according to the terms of the contract with the slaughterhouse industry.<\/p>\n

According to the research, transactions in which trust is observed between the parties tend to be carried out under the \u201clive weight\u201d arrangement, allowing for better measurement of the negotiated attributes, and the possibility of fairer remuneration, in addition to offering greater transparency in the transaction. Transactions without trust between agents occur in dead weight, usually related to the production of lower quality cattle. In the “dead weight” arrangement, information failures associated with the imbalance of bargaining power generate uncertainty, inefficiencies and friction in transactions (MACHADO FILHO & ZYLBERSZTAJN, 1999; PASCOAL et al., 2011).<\/p>\n

Being a pioneer in bringing the relationship of trust and contractual arrangements, the survey allows the producers to understand the decision-making process. \u201cTrust between agents in a production chain is not easy to build and having this element as an important component in deciding the contractual arrangement and quality in the rural production segment is something that can put the beef chain in a position unfavorable in terms of global competitiveness.\u201d explains researcher Lechan Colares Santos.<\/p>\n

In transactions between cattle ranchers and beef slaughterhouses, the relationship of trust is crucial. Influencing the selection of contractual arrangements among cattle breeders, the trust factor was analyzed by researchers, who concluded that it has an impact on the quality of Brazilian meat. …<\/span> Read More →<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":106,"featured_media":1222,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[20,12],"tags":[192,21],"class_list":["post-1220","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cr","category-press-releases","tag-agronomy","tag-ciencia-rural"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pressreleases.scielo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1220","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pressreleases.scielo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pressreleases.scielo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pressreleases.scielo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/106"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pressreleases.scielo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1220"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/pressreleases.scielo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1220\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1223,"href":"https:\/\/pressreleases.scielo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1220\/revisions\/1223"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pressreleases.scielo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1222"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pressreleases.scielo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1220"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pressreleases.scielo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1220"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pressreleases.scielo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1220"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
