In this line of thought, the present research seeks to analyze variables that have influence on Minas Gerais soybean farmers regarding the utilization of barter as a risk management and fund-raising tool, based on structured questionnaires according to farmers specificities in Minas Gerais state.

The results obtained show that most soybean farmers from Minas Gerais do not have a detailed knowledge about the tool and, mainly for this reason, they are afraid of its accomplishment. It is emphasizes that among farmers that engage in barter, there are: small farmers with more experience with the soybean market, farmers that use their own areas and that have more knowledge about this tool, and farmers that believe that barter is safe to meet the financial needs in funding the production.
