Abstract

This papper  aims to study the citrus sector in Brazil, with the aim of assessing the feasibility of deployment of futures contracts for orange juice frozen concentrated in Brazil. To determine which factors affect this viability, the theory of success and failures of future contracts was used. Results show that commercialization strategies, the degree of market concentration and vertical integration in the industry imply serious problems that prevent the existence of a future contract for frozen concentrated orange juice in Brazil.
