A Lei de Integração Vertical nos sistemas agroindustriais: uma abordagem multidisciplinar sobre a relação de integração dos produtores rurais e da agroindústria no Brasil.

Abstract

Contracts in general are allocated among the most common forms of creating obligations, given the human need to relate to people to acquire or provide products and services in addition to other activities inherent in everyday life. Law no. 13,288/16 called the Vertical Integration Law sought to regulate integration contracts, obligations and responsibilities in contractual relationships between integrated producers and integrators, in order to meet the socioeconomic needs of productive agents in the contractual model and in the development of agrarian activities. Within this level, the Vertical Integration Contract comes to be understood as an effective tool used to formalize the interactions between the agroindustry and the rural producer, becoming fundamental for the growth and development of several agrarian activities. Thus, the general objective of this work is to carry out a multidisciplinary approach on the relationship of integration of rural producers and Agroindustry, in order to try to visualize the repercussions and legal impacts of the Law of Vertical Integration in Agroindustrial Systems. Furthermore, it was also sought to analyze in a general way the behavior of the agro-industrial productive sectors, as well as the social, economic and environmental effects generated by the insertion of this contractual modality in the national legal system. Checking how the reciprocity of obligations to give and do occurs, in the face of the lines of economic cooperation and the plurality of elements associated with agroindustry. The present research was based on theoretical research, through specific bibliographies on the subject, as well as direct documentary analysis of legal texts that deal with the theme and indirect, evaluating articles, theses and information related to the subject. Furthermore, it was sought through the bibliographic review to analyze through scientific publications in national journals existing in online and printed platforms the state of the art of research, gathering, comparing, criticizing and identifying through a technical-legal approach, through the method exegetical-juridical behavior of the agro-industrial productive sectors, generated by the insertion of this contractual modality in the national legal system. Searches for academic works were not restricted by their vernacular, but were limited by publication date, considering the years (2015 to 2022). Data collection followed two pillars: exploratory and selective reading and recording of extracted information. For the exploratory scientific construction, a quick analysis was sought to identify the relevance of the work in relation to the subject studied, as a corollary, the selection of works considered most relevant. Finally, the information extracted was recorded and analyzed for the composition of the approach. In the search strategy, informational resources were used, some through electronic databases (SCOPUS and WEB OF SCIENCES), digital libraries (Theses Bank of CAPES and SciELO) and an academic search engine (Google Academic). In addition to the databases of scientific publications indexed within the literature, some technical documents on the subject were evaluated as a way of contributing to the research. The result of the study showed, among other aspects, that the Vertical Integration Contract regulated by Law no. 13,288/16, when effectively applied to agro-industrial systems, improves operational/productive efficiency and strengthens the competitive positioning of the agro- industrial sector, mainly due to the legal certainty that integrated producers and integrators have come to have with the application of this contract in commercial relations.
