- Abstract
Objective: Analyze how collective action through the participation of family farmers in cooperatives contributes to the use of internal resources in rural enterprises from the theoretical perspective of the resource-based view (RBV). Methods: A systematic analysis of articles with case studies of family farmers participating in Brazilian cooperatives between 2010 and 2020 was carried out using descriptive statistics. Originality/relevance: Analysis of the contribution of cooperatives to resource use and exchange among farmers to enter and remain competitive in the market. Major results: In some cases, collective action through cooperatives contributed to resource use and exchange, allowing for market insertion and competitive permanence of family farmers. Reputational resources based on environmentally sustainable production and traditions provided a competitive advantage. Organizational resources related to farmers' capacities to create interrelationships between production units and markets provided strategic conditions to harness internal resources and become competitive. Theoretical and methodological contributions: Discussions bringing together family agriculture, cooperatives, and internal resources from the perspective of RBV demonstrated the interdisciplinary nature of the theme and contributed to the scientific literature, where there is a lack of such joint analyses. Managerial contributions: Managers of cooperatives and public policy makers will be able to identify which resources contribute to the competitiveness of family farmers and the difficulties encountered by these agents, such as investments in physical, financial, and technological infrastructure.
