Abstract: This article analyses the challenges that pervasive deregulation and new consumer needs present to the Brazilian coffee agribusiness coordination. The transaction cost theory is the analytical device that provides support to deal with the inter-segment linkages expected to change. It is argued that as a commodity-oriented sector, the coffee agroindustrial system has been primarily coordinated by market price signals, but as a consumer-oriented business new forms of coordination will be required besides the price system. ©1994 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
