Abstract

In this paper we analyse the proceedings of the two Agricultural Meetings that took place in 1878: in July in Rio de Janeiro, and in October in Recife. We compare the two different call processes of the events. Then we focus our attention on the discussions about the availability of capital for the plantations, and on the suggestions about stimulating the supply of credit to the farmers. For each meeting, we analyse separately some of the aspects that stood up in those discussions. In our closing remarks, we resume the comparison of the two events, and consider the eventual existence of a segmentation among the farmers at the Rio de Janeiro Meeting.
