title: Small money, big problems: how an investigation on small Latin American republics shaped the financial market for sovereign debt in the 19th century

description: Abstract In 1875 the British Parliament set up a Committee to investigate frauds on loans underwritten by British and French banks to the Republics of Honduras, Costa Rica, Santo Domingo and Paraguay, reaching an amount of £12 million. The reports of the Committee and the press coverage issue revealed financial malpractices by banks and diplomats in order to induce millionaire defaults at expense of the bondholders, whilst the loan agents were living in luxuriant mansions in southern France. After the investigation, these shoddy practices were exposed to the public, reshaping the loan business for the rest of the century.

title: The revolution in public policies: the institutionalization of changes in the Brazilian economy, from 1930 to 1945

description: Abstract The article analyzes the legacies of the 1930’s Revolution from a new angle: that of public policies. To this purpose, it establishes an outline of the economic policies launched since 1930, showing the Ariadne’s thread of these transformations. The methodology combines, in an unprecedented way, serial history, and policy-focused analysis, having presidential executive orders as the basic source to look for fingerprints of the president in these changes. We conclude that more significant changes only gained momentum at the turn of the 1940s, to the point not only of reorienting economic policy, but of creating a new political economy.

title: Socioeconomic potential of non-timber forest products in the sustainable development reserve of Uatumã, Amazonas

description: Abstract: In the protected areas of the Amazon, the extraction of Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFPs) is one of the most relevant economic activities for the well-being of communities and for the in situ conservation of agrobiodiversity. This research aimed to evaluate the current management and commercialization practices of NTFPs in the Uatumã Sustainable Development Reserve, through semi-structured interviews with 23 family units and 7 local resellers of regional products. We considered the following variables to evaluate the commercialization potential: abundance of available NTFPs, interest of families, use and management practices, cost of production, productivity and profitability. Of the 24 NTFPs collected by the families, there was a greater representativeness in food products. Based on 9 potentiality indicators, we evaluated the 6 NTFPs with the highest frequency of commercialization. Supply and demand proved to be the determining variables in all NTFPs and the cost of labor proved to be the factor with the greatest impact on the cost of production. NTFPs are resources that contribute mainly to household food security. Ours results recommend an intensified management of copaíba (Copaifera L.), mainly for obtaining oil-resin, a product best evaluated by Family Units and with growing regional demand, according to retailers.

title: The market for seeds and seedlings of rosewood (Aniba spp.) in the State of Amazonas

description: Abstract: The rosewood is one of the species with the greatest economic potential in the Brazilian Amazon because its oil is highly valued by the perfumery industry. However, due to exploration the species is threatened of extinction. With the decrease in the resource, oil production has been reduced from 46 to 2 tons/year in the last 20 years, increasing the sale price from USD 40.00 kg-1 to USD 320.00 kg-1 in this same period. This valorization has stimulated the planting of the species, which is faced with limited availability of seedlings for commercialization. Therefore, his research aimed to analyze the seed and seedlings market of rosewood in Amazonas, identifying the number of producers, average annual production and demand, prices practiced, customer profile and production difficulties. Producers were identified through Internet surveys and contacted to elucidate more specific issues in the production chain. We verified that currently, only three entrepreneurs commercialize seedlings of the species with a certain regularity, totaling the average production of 20.000 seedlings/year with sale price between R$ 10.00 and R$ 15.00. This market represents a promising business opportunity, which can be more successful if new production arrangements are established.

title: Family farmers in short food supply chains: a quantitative assessment of farmers’ markets

description: Abstract: Qualitative research projects have revealed the importance of short food supply chains for providing alternatives for family farmers marketing their agricultural goods. This study presents an additional contribution to these efforts by quantifying the participation of family farmers in farmers’ markets at the county level. It assesses to what extent farmers’ markets represent an alternative market channel by providing: (a) opportunities for family farmers selling their goods; (b) functional short food supply chains and; (c) alternatives to the industrial supply chains. Based on quantitative data from 59 markets, sampled from a universe of 369 farmers’ markets in the Brazilian State of Goiás, we found that 42.37% of the farmers’ markets offer opportunities for family farmers, 32.20% promote local short marketing channels, and 35.59% work as an alternative to the industrial agri-food systems. As a whole, 10.17% of the studied farmers’ markets meet the three above-mentioned objectives. Statistical regressions reveal that: 1) the lower the percentage of middlemen and the greater the percentage of family farmers taking part in farming organizations, the greater the number of stands owned by family farmers; 2) the greater the relevance of the farmers’ market in both the organization of farmers and in the catalysis of new business, the greater the positive influence on public policies.

title: Agro-industrial cotton chain and price transmission to the brazilian consumer

description: Abstract: This paper has two main objectives. Firstly, to analyze the flow of transactions in the cotton value chain, identifying all steps from the purchase of inputs, followed by agricultural production, processing, including industrial uses of fiber and cottonseed. Secondly, to identify, through applied time series models, the direction and speed of transmission of shocks in cotton fiber prices over clothing prices to the final consumer. Seed cotton undergoes processing, generating cottonseed, cotton fiber, fibril, and fiber by-products. The cottonseed is intended for animal feed, crushing, and/or delinting. Cotton fiber has industrial uses and is one that adds the most added value. Spinning is the first link of the textile industry, following, together with synthetic fibers, to produce yarn, to weaving, knitting, clothing, obtaining the garments and accessories, or bed, table, and bath line or even products, bags, etc., which are sold in the wholesale and retail markets. Then, we want to understand how advances in efficiency in cotton production reached the Brazilian consumer. It is about evaluating, over time, the transmission of prices of the feather over the prices of yarns, weaving, clothing, and clothing at retail. Data from January 2000 to December 2018 are used. The results showed a greater relationship between cotton fiber price and yarn prices and a low impact on subsequent links. It is understood that the low interrelation of cotton prices with the prices of other products in the textile chain is the result of the significant volume and value of imports of synthetic fibers and manufactured products.

title: Relationship and loyalty between farmers and consumers in direct selling groups of agroecological foods in Florianópolis-SC

description: Abstract: In the last decades, movements contrary to the hegemonic agri-food model have emerged. These movements foment values such as quality, tradition, trust, and proximity, usually based on short food supply chains. This article analyzes the relationship between farmers and consumers and the latter’s loyalty to Célula de Consumidores Responsáveis (CCR) (Responsible Consumption Cells), a direct selling group. To carry out the analysis, the relationship marketing approach was adopted. The methodological tools used in this research were participant observation, questionnaire surveys, and work monitoring of the institutional team. It was identified that there is an interest in narrowing the gap between the spheres of production and consumption, although there is still a distance between them. The consumers presented a growing level of awareness regarding responsible food consumption, expressing satisfaction, commitment, and loyalty to the initiative. It was concluded that the CCR project has the potential to broaden actions and analyzes of relationship marketing, and co-responsibility between consumers and farmers.

title: Institutional differentiation in the certification of organic products: a comparison of the Participatory Conformity Assessment Bodies in the state of Rio Grande do Sul

description: Abstract: This article analyzes the factors of institutional differentiation in the processes of participatory certification of organic products. The research conducted with the participatory conformity assessment bodies (OPACs) in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, initially aimed to answer whether they were converging to similar organizational structures and strategies. The initial hypothesis suggested the isomorphism of these organizations due to coercive, normative and mimetic institutional pressures. However, due to the rejection of the initial hypothesis, it sought to identify the factors that produce institutional differentiation. Normative instruments that regulate organic certification, OPACs’ internal management documents, transcripts of individual and collective interviews with stakeholders, and notes issues from the observations of meetings and certification procedures were examined. Results demonstrate decoupling processes driven by three main factors: ambiguity and heterogeneity of the institutional environment, resistance of the actors to isomorphic pressures, and internal power dynamics related to the format of social participation in each OPAC.

title: Budget allocation for rural areas: dynamics of Brazilian federal expenditures from 2000 to 2017

description: Abstract: The 95th Constitutional Amendment of Brazil, which limits federal public spending for twenty years starting in 2016, increases the competition for the use of these values among its claimants. Through the National Budget Panel, this study describes the dynamics of federal expenditures since 2000, especially on resources directed to rural areas. For this purpose, federal spending is separated into function and expense groups, budget units, programs, and specific actions. The analysis shows that expenditures directed to rural areas, considered already low, have lost space in the budget distribution, except for expenses with rural Social Security beneficiaries. This view reinforces the need to reverse the situation to be consistent with the socioeconomic relevance of the Brazilian rural area.

title: Spatial analysis of brazilian sugar exports highlighting northeast in the period from 2014 to 2017

description: Abstract: The objective of the present work is to analyze spatially the sugar exports of the Brazilian states, as well as to identify the levels of specialization and competitiveness of this sector in these areas. In this sense, it was elaborated an exploratory analysis of the spatial data (AEDE) through the global and local Moran I, and the calculation performance of the location quotient indexes, Market Share, relative participation of exports and participation of the sugar trade in the states. The results show that the sugar exports of the Brazilian states are spatially correlated, therefore, the relationship between the states of Paraná, São Paulo and Mato Grosso do Sul stands out. In addition, the relative indexes to international trade indicate levels of specialization and competitiveness concentrated around a reduced number of states.

title: Organic markets social construction: the case of Responsible Consumer Cells in Florianópolis-SC

description: Abstract: Contemporary movements against industrial production forms, supply, and agrifood consumption defend alternative processes that reconnect producers and consumers, rescuing cultural and social values, relocating agriculture in the territories and valuing the environmental dimension. In this context, it is important to highlight the demand increases for organic food and changes in production and consumption patterns, based on quality and trust values. Related to this perspective, this study aims to analyze the Family Farming Commercialization Laboratory (FFCL-UFSC) experience, focusing on the extension project Responsible Consumption Cells (RCC), in an effort to comprehend its contribution to the market social construction of organics/agro-ecological in Florianópolis – SC, Brazil. Theoretically, the study defines Alternative Food Networks (AFN) and bonds its notion with Civic Food Networks (CFN). Methodologically, participant observation is developed, as well as the primary data analysis and other documents. It was possible to conclude that the CCR is an effective model of social technology that helps articulate new production and consumption arrangements, integrating itself in the CFN logic, representing a resistance form in agrifood markets able to contribute to the food supply chains redesign in big cities.

title: Representations of Colombian Andean farmers on climate change and mitigation and adaptation strategies

description: Abstract: This article presents the findings of research conducted in a rural community located in Norte de Santander Department, Colombia, on farmers' representations of the impacts of climate change. The analysis of the behavior of temperature and average rainfall in the period 1985-2015 was put together concerning the local knowledge of the farmers. The approach was developed through 56 multiple choice questions surveys done to 144 producers intentionally selected from a group of 1,933 farmers, analyzed with descriptive and inferential statistical techniques. The findings indicate a broad opinion by farmers of the effects of climate change due to the gradual increase in temperature that causes changes in the bimodal system and intensity of rainfall; reduction in agricultural and livestock production, product quality and quantity; intensification of pest and disease attacks; reduction in water sources and water quality; extinction and migration of species of flora and fauna; and effects on the family’s comfort during work and rest hours, health and hygiene. Likewise, local strategies and the participation of public institutions in the mitigation and adaptation to climate change are evident.

title: Technical efficiency of dairy producers in Uruguay

description: Abstract: In the work, an estimation and analysis of the technical efficiency of the dairy producers in Uruguay was carried out, based on the information available in the General Agricultural and Livestock Census corresponding to the 2010/2011 production year. It was applied a stochastic boundary analysis to obtain a measure of the technical efficiency, as well as of each establishment. The results showed that Uruguayan dairy farmers operate at 79.9% of their capacity, which shows that many producers could still improve their incomes with the available technology. In addition, the results show that the technical assistance as well as the use of silos reduces the inefficiencies possible inefficiencies.

title: The influence of labour costs on the sustainability of douro wine farms: an application of ABM

description: Abstract: In Portugal, labour availability has been revealed as a key factor for the activity, particularly in mountain viticulture. The latest statistics present worrying values that could undermine the production of quality wine and the attractive set of wine landscapes considered as a potential resource for tourism development. The Douro Region is one of the main Portuguese wine regions, characterized by a prominent and accentuated mountain viticulture. This paper aims to simulate the behaviour of its farms about the changes in the price of labour, through Agent-Based Models (ABM). The MATLAB software was used to obtain periodic functions adjusted to the data that characterize the relevant variables, obtained from face-to-face surveys of 110 farms, and taking into account the data provided by PTFADN. Subsequently, the ABM software (NETLOGO) was selected to simulate the next 100 years, familiarizing the real dynamics based on the previously considered data. Depending on the price of labour at the end of the simulation horizon, with a grape price of 0,77 €/kg, from the 300 initially existing farms survive between 127 and 231 (42,3 - 77%). In a more optimistic scenario, with a grape price of 1,17 €/kg, the survival rate ranges between 72.1 and 93.2%.

title: Effects of rural microcredit on agricultural production: evidence from the Agroamigo program

description: Abstract: This study aims to evaluate the effect of rural microcredit on the value of agricultural production in the Northeastern Brazilian municipalities served by the Agroamigo Program, considering the amount of loans granted and the time of exposure to benefits. Therefore, it was used the differences in differences (DD) method with control for fixed effect for an annual panel of 1,791 municipalities in the region from 2003 to 2015, using administrative data from the Program, social indicators of the Annual Report of Social Information (RAIS), rainfall data from the Centre for Environmental Data Analysis (CEDA), and demographic, economic and agricultural production indicators of the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE). The main results of the research show that Agroamigo's loan volume had a positive effect on livestock production, and this effect was potentiated for those municipalities with more than seven years of exposure to the Program. However, no statistically significant effects were found on agricultural activity. Finally, compared to the total amounts of microcredit and the benefits generated, measured only in terms of livestock production, it was identified that the program presented a return rate of 52% the aggregate from 2005 to 2015.

title: The behavior of the portuguese organic wine consumers

description: Abstract: Although, in recent years, organic wine has evolved positively in production and consumption due to increased concern and environmental awareness and health, it remains an economic activity in Portugal with a very small market compared to other EU countries and with other organic products of agri-food origin. Hence, the purpose of this study was to analyze consumer behavior in relation to organic wine, testing variables such as the perception of the attributes of organic wine, lifestyle and health awareness and price sensitivity to understand the link between the attitude and the intention to buy, consume and recommend a biological wine. It was adopted the conclusive and descriptive methodology, with survey of quantitative data from an online questionnaire available for three months (March-May 2019), allowed to explain the importance of the perception of the attributes. Of organic wine, attitudes and health awareness in the willingness to buy, consume and recommend an organic wine.

title: Garrano as a sustainability factor of territories from natural network 2000

description: Abstract: The evolution of the rural population and livestock of some Portuguese native breeds has shown worrying levels of regression, with environmental and ecological consequences, in the management and planning of the territory and its sustainability, namely regarding the socio-economic dimension and territorial cohesion itself. Based on interviews with breeders, companies, and associations dedicated to the breeding and protection of the Garrano horse breed, used for various purposes, this paper aims to identify the benefits of adopting a production system that includes Garrano, highlighting also its main weaknesses. The approach will be developed taking into account the environmental, economic, and social dimensions of sustainability. The results show the important role of these animals, not only as a living genetic heritage but also in terms of the protection of forests against fires, regarding the control of fuel biomass. However, a concerted strategy will need to be devised to enhance its contribution to the economy of farms or enterprises. This should be reflected in the increase of the welfare of the population, the stabilization of the animal herd, and the sustainability of the territory.
