O presente trabalho busca relacionar a presenca ou ausencia de capital social como recurso para a sustentabilidade de cooperativas agroindustriais. Supoe-se que as cooperativas dotadas de elevado nivel de estoque de capital social tem maior sustentabilidade que as que possuem um menor nivel de capital social. O objetivo e verificar o impacto da existencia ou nao de capital social no andamento das cooperativas agroindustriais COOPEMOVA e COCEDRO, para isso este trabalho utilizou o estudo de caso das duas cooperativas agroindustriais. Os dados foram conseguidos mediante observacao na ambiencia das cooperativas e de aplicacao de dois questionarios. Verificou-se neste trabalho que a COOPEMOVA dotada de maior nivel de capital social foi tambem a que revelou maior indice de satisfacao dos cooperados, como era de se esperar; o inverso mostrou a COCEDRO, com menor nivel de capital social e de satisfacao dos cooperados. Esses resultados corroboraram a proposicao de que o capital social e fundamental para a manutencao de cooperativas agroindustriais, ainda mais em ambientes que carecem de maior investimento e incentivos da governanca publica pois e um setor que tem se mostrado forte nas exportacoes agricolas brasileiras. A simples existencia de capital social nao resolve os problemas, mas o seu direcionamento para a acao e combinado com outros recursos pode contribuir em muito para o exito produtivo e social das cooperativas agroindustriais, gerando um desenvolvimento economico sustentavel para o Estado ou Regiao. --------------------------------------------The present work looks to make a list of the presence or absence of equity capital like resource for the sustainability de of cooperatives agricultural industries.
