Sumario:This article describes the process of absorptive capacity through the application of the theoretical model of Lane, Koka and Pathak (2006).It has been adapted to rural properties of cooperative farmers of an agroindustry organization in south-central Paraná, with the view thatthis process goes through the stages of recognition, assimilation and application of new knowledge in agricultural properties, which willbe portrayed in the positive outcome of the cooperative organization. It is a qualitative research, of a descriptive nature and with crosscutting,because the data collection occurred through in-depth interviews with five cooperative farmers who have over time experienced anevolution in productivity rates and profitability in agricultural activity. The results of the research were relevant both at the organizationallevel – because they offer directions to the management of the cooperative organization to be able to identify how the process of applicationof new knowledge is given, as well as the necessary improvement points – and for the dissemination and application of knowledge – as inthe theoretical discussion, since they deepened the theory of dynamic capacities based on the agricultural reality, a sector of great regionaland national importance in Brazil.
