Gestão cooperativista e diagnóstico estratégico: um estudo de caso na cooperativa dos produtores em agropecuária e extrativismo do município de Parintins - COOPAPIN

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the cooperative management and strategic diagnosis of the Agricultural and Extractive Producers Cooperative of the Municipality of Parintins (COOPAPIN) using the SWOT analysis tool. Its specific objectives were: to characterize the Cooperative in its various activities; to enumerate the bottlenecks in the production flow and access to financing; and to propose alternatives for mitigating the identified bottlenecks. To achieve these objectives, the following methodological strategies were adopted: exploratory research, using bibliographic techniques, document analysis, simple observation, and questionnaires. The SWOT strategic tool was used for data processing and analysis. This allowed for the analysis of the complexity of cooperative activities, which are important for the livelihood of many farmers. The technical qualification of the cooperative's supplier members is still a deficiency within the cooperative, and the current board is aware that both qualification and the use of technical knowledge are necessary for the better development of the members' production in their activities. It was also found that the self-management instruments used by COOPAPIN are adequate to guarantee the protagonism of the producers, provided that it manages to promote a greater effort in relation to technical assistance to its members.
