This piece of work is an evaluation on the performance of a farm credit Cooperative in the stateof Minas Gerais with 12 service agencies in different cities. For such purpose the Modelo de GestãoEconômica ( Economic Management Model )-GECON was used, which is a tool for managerial analysisdeveloped by the GECON Nucleus researchers staff, supported by the FIPECAFI foundation of the Universityof São Paulo. The GECON is a model which can be applied on several types of organizations and has beenbroadly used on banking organizations. Through analysis it was verified that the cooperative analysed has astructure of relatively high costs and expenses, which compromises its economic results and makes itnecessary to promote an effective reduction/rationalization in its expenditures, as well as to seek to exploitingthe potentialities available in such area of operation.
