ABSTRACT This paper analyses the citrus agri-food system in Brazil based in the channels of distribution, transaction cost economics and contracts referential. Within this analysis a specific transaction was emphasized, between the industry that processes the juice and the beverage industry, with the purpose of identifying the relationships and the main characteristics that exist in the contracts involved. By the assets specificity’s analysis, it was expected that the relationships occurred via contracts or vertical integration. The personal interviews confirmed this hypothesis. Keywords: Distribution Channels, Contract Analysis, Orange Juice, Juice Brands

01 - INTRODUCTION It is known the importance of the citrus agri-food chain for the Brazilian economy and, mainly, for Sao Paulo State, where concentrates around 80% of the national production.

    Due to the weak influence of these governments, they are highly vulnerable and open to any form of exploitation in order to boost economic activity. Many large multinational corporations have taken advantage of this situation (mainly in Brazil). There have been recent trends of land clearing for cattle pasture in massive volumes. This is mainly for the production of beef. Between 1990 and 2001 the percentage of Europe's processed meat imports that came from Brazil rose from 40 to 74 percent. Cattle ranching is the leading cause of deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon, clearing masses of species habitats and inhabitants. There are several factors that have spurred Brazils growth as a producer of beef; the devaluation of the Brazilian real against the dollar doubled the price of beef in real and created an incentive for increased production, effectively increasing land clearing for cattle pasture. Increased road construction was implemented to improve access throughout the forestlands, decreasing the cost of transportation, effectively reducing the total cost of exported beef. Land tenure laws allowed colonists and developers to gain title to Amazon lands by clearing forest and placing cattle on the land. Cattle are a secure, low-risk investment and this encouraged land clearing and cattle pasture for investors and…

    Unilever have a long and profitable history in Brazil. After setting up in Brazil in 1929, Unilever set up their first plant in 1930 to manufacture Sunlight Soap. In 1957 OMO, the countries first detergent, was launched and grew to be Unilever’s most successful brand commanding 52% of the market share. Completing the detergent portfolio are Minerva, which is sold as both soap and detergent powder and Campeiro, their price based brand. Together the Unilever portfolio commands 81% of the market. Upon review of the company’s strategic options positive economic forces in Brazil have presented Unilever with the viable option of pursuing the low income consumer market. Currently their price based brand Campeiro is priced affordably but does not meet low income needs for perceived product attributes and as such only retains 6% of the market. Management are concerned this presents a chink in Unilever’s armour presenting an opportunity for Proctor and Gamble to attack and grow in this segment. Unilever had fallen victim to this strategy in India whereby a low priced detergent “Nirma” was developed and targeted at low income consumers and quickly gained 48% of the market.…

    With this research we want to demonstrate why we could market Tecate beer in the country of Brazil. Tecate is a local beer distributed by the Mexican company Cuauhtémoc Moctezuma Brewery (Spanish: Cervecería Cuauhtémoc Moctezuma) which has operating brewing plants in Monterrey, Guadalajara, Toluca, Orizaba, an Chihuahua, producing several beer including Dos Equis, Sol, bohemia, Superior, Carta Blanca, Indio, and Tecate among others. I choose this brand because it is a very well-known brand in Mexico, besides Cuauhtémoc Moctezuma Brewery has already made business in Brazil with their beer Corona. The biggest productor of beer in the world, AB InBev, started importing Corona from Mexico to sell it in Brazil as a “super premium” product. The prices of these types of beer are revolving in between the three or five dollars, and because Brazil not only has a 15 to 20 percent of its total market in beer, but it is also the third biggest beer production of the world. And to complete the points in favor Brazil spend 5.5 million of dollars in imported beer this is because the community from Brazil uses this beverage as a common companion for their meals when going out in groups. The expectative of the essay is to prove that we could market Tecate in Brazil and that this is a better option rather than to market it in Russia, that would be more expensive and give the company Cuauhtémoc Moctezuma less profit than in Brazil.…

    On October 27, 1997, Arnold Pollet, treasurer and secretary at Univar Fontenay, France, was reviewing the budget and operational reports sent from the company’s Brazilian subsidiary. This was the first time he had reviewed these figures since the new general manager, Carlos Lopes, had taken over in November 1996. With the consolidation of the Mercosur agreement, and potential further trade integration with the rest of Latin America, it had become strategically important to reposition the Brazilian operations. Economic stabilization and a more open trade policy were likely to redefine many of the prevailing rules of competition in the region. Improvement of operational practices and new strategic thinking were essential for the future of Univar in Brazil and the Mercosur trade area. The losses the company incurred in 1996 called for more aggressive actions to restore the Brazilian business to acceptable standards.…
