Abstract

The agricultural producer is recognized as being the main person responsible for the management of his/her farm and the strategies put in place to operationalize its growth. However, it has been shown that he/she is framed and influenced in his/her strategic choices by a system of governance. The aim of this article is to better understand the specificities of producers and of the system of governance of large-scale farms, which have received little attention in the empirical literature. The results show the presence of an agro-entrepreneur profile, a strong involvement of external actors as partners of the manager, privileged modes of external growth, as well as a formalization of governance and organization of operations.
