Abstract

The agricultural corporations are made up of various farmers and carry out sales transactions of the products obtained by their associates under adequate conditions and the provisión of the necessary elements for agricultural production, that is, the purchase of seeds, fodder, ferlilizers, machinery, fuel, etc. in perfect conditions. The agricultural labor is subjected to great variations, which range from economic or climatic reasons to the funding required to face long production cycles and acquire modern production techniques. Agricultural corporations must be protectedfrom the abusive behavior of intermediaries, who always take advantage of the isolation offarmers to pay low prices, demand high interest on loans and / or charge hefty prices for the Ítems they provide the producers. Producers seek out the formation of cooperative organizations to reduce transaction costs originated by asymmetric negotiation relationships with the marketing, industrialization and supplies sectors.
