This paper aims to analyze the degree of concentration of loans allocated to agricultural and livestock activities in Brazil for the period 2000-2007 and to assess the distribution pattern of credit among the states, analyzing the extent to which the volume of distributed credit is proportional to the states share of production and harvest areas, regarding agriculture, and the participation of each state in the total Brazilian livestock. The results suggest that rural credit still remains concentrated in states of the Southern and Southeastern regions, although there has been a credit decentralization during the current decade in favor of agricultural frontier in parts of Central and North regions of Brazil.

Abstract

This paper aims to analyze the degree of concentration of loans allocated to agricultural and livestock activities in Brazil for the period 2000-2007 and to assess the distribution pattern of credit among the states, analyzing the extent to which the volume of distributed credit is proportional to the states share of production and harvest areas, regarding agriculture, and the participation of each state in the total Brazilian livestock. The results suggest that rural credit still remains concentrated in states of the Southern and Southeastern regions, although there has been a credit decentralization during the current decade in favor of agricultural frontier in parts of Central and North regions of Brazil.

Cet article vise à étudier la concentration des prêts destinés à l’agriculture et à l´élevage par états au Brésil au cours de la période 2000-2007. Par ailleurs, ce travail présente une analyse sur le montant des crédits par état en vue d´évaluer si leur part correspond à la participation de ces états en termes de productions et de récoltes agricoles et en termes de dimension du cheptel. Les résultats montrent que le crédit agricole reste concentré dans certains états du Sud et Sud-est, bien qu’on puisse noter un processus de décentralisation.
