Network cooperatives and the reduction of opportunism in the agribusiness segment: a systematic bibliographic review

Abstract

The Brazilian citrus industry has been receiving in-depth scientific research in this 21st century, mainly due to the peculiarities in the coordination of this agroindustrial system, where the cooperatives performance and their network format is highlighted, in order to represent an alternative to the well-known process of reduction of small citrus producers, as well as support in mitigating opportunism in transactions. In this context, the objective of this article is to carry out a systematic review of the literature on the topic of cooperatives in a network format and the reduction of opportunism applied to the agribusiness segment, in Brazil and in the world. As a result, the importance of the network relationship in agroindustrial cooperatives to reduce opportunism in economic transactions is attested in all the researched articles, as well as the lack of empirical studies coming from the academy in order to enrich and make the researched literature more robust.
