Abstract

During qualitative research on trust, conducted in a mariculture chain in southern Brazil, the theme of informality emerged spontaneously in most interviews. Although it is difficult to measure, some data and estimates point out that informality is still quite present worldwide, but especially in emerging and developing countries, and this situation was confirmed in the studied supply chain. In analysing the narratives, we noticed that this is a chronic issue which bothers the producers that are properly formalised mainly because of unfair competition, and hinders the organisation of the chain. Some factors foster the persistence of informality, such as family labour and temporary jobs, the low educational level of entrepreneurs, lack of adequate supervision and cultural aspects of producers and their families. We could corroborate the perspectives of modernisation (informality is still persistent), neo-liberal (informal entrepreneurs reject the bureaucracy of an over-regulated market) and post-structuralist (informality is a way of life related to identity, social position and/or resistance against the formal structure) theories. Our research has shown us that the situation found is contributing to a reduction in the number of formal producers and impairing the development of that local supply chain, as well as its sustainability.

非正规性对巴西当地农业食品供应链的影响
在巴西南部一家海水养殖连锁店进行的关于信任的定性研究中,大多数采访中都自发地出现了非正式的主题。尽管很难衡量,但一些数据和估计指出,非正规性在世界各地仍然存在,尤其是在新兴国家和发展中国家,这种情况在所研究的供应链中得到了证实。在分析这些叙述时,我们注意到这是一个长期存在的问题,它困扰着主要由于不公平竞争而被正式化的生产商,并阻碍了连锁店的组织。一些因素助长了非正规性的持续存在,例如家庭劳动和临时工作、企业家的教育水平低、生产者及其家庭缺乏充分的监督和文化方面的问题。我们可以证实现代化(非正规性仍然存在)、新自由主义(非正规企业家拒绝过度监管的市场的官僚作风)和后结构主义(非正式性是一种与身份、社会地位和/或对形式结构的抵抗有关的生活方式)理论的观点。我们的研究表明,所发现的情况有助于减少正式生产商的数量,损害当地供应链的发展及其可持续性。

期刊介绍: EuroChoices is a full colour, peer reviewed, outreach journal of topical European agri-food and rural resource issues, published three times a year in April, August and December. Its main aim is to bring current research and policy deliberations on agri-food and rural resource issues to a wide readership, both technical & non-technical. The need for this is clear - there are great changes afoot in the European and global agri-food industries and rural areas, which are of enormous impact and concern to society. The issues which underlie present deliberations in the policy and private sectors are complex and, until now, normally expressed in impenetrable technical language.
