Differently from the previous studies, the central hypothesis sought to investigate whether the negative relation between the working capital and the profitability of the companies applies to companies in this sector and included another variable in the traditional model, the operating working capital requirement. Additionally, we tried to analyze the working capital quarterly seasonality effect on the profitability and the impact of the working capital management on the profitability of companies of the agribusiness sector in periods of economic recession. The regressions have been estimated on a quarterly basis for the period from 2007 to 2015. The results found present evidences that suggest the following conclusions: 1) given the specificity of the agribusiness sector, the cash conversion cycle does not explain the relation between profitability and management of working capital of these companies; 2) The operating working capital requirement presents statistical significance and an additional investment of this variable can add value to companies of that sector; 3) the seasonality influences the agribusiness companies working capital management and profitability and may add greater value in the two last quarters of the year; and 4) the efficient working capital management in recession times increases the companies profitability. === O objetivo principal deste estudo é comparar a relação entre o capital de giro e a rentabilidade das empresas do setor de agronegócio em relação às demais empresas. Diferente dos estudos anteriores, a hipótese central buscou investigar se a relação negativa entre o capital de giro e a rentabilidade das empresas se aplica às empresas desse setor e incluiu no modelo tradicional outra variável, a necessidade de capital de giro operacional. Adicionalmente, buscou-se analisar o o efeito da sazonalidade trimestral do capital de giro na rentabilidade e o impacto da gestão de capital de giro na rentabilidade das empresas do setor de agronegócios em períodos de recessão econômica. As regressões foram estimadas em bases trimestrais do período de 2007 e 2015. Os resultados encontrados apresentam evidências que sugerem as seguintes conclusões: 1) dada a especificidade do setor de agronegócio, o ciclo de conversão em caixa não explica a relação entre rentabilidade e gestão de capital de giro dessas empresas; 2) Já a necessidade de capital de giro apresenta significância estatística e um investimento adicional dessa variável pode agregar valor às empresas desse setor; 3) a sazonalidade influencia a gestão de capital de giro e a rentabilidade das empresas de agronegócio e pode agregar maior valor nos últimos dois trimestres do ano; e 4) a eficiente gestão do capital de giro em momentos de recessão aumenta a rentabilidade das empresas.
