The Global Value Chains literature recognizes the importance of institutions for both countries and firms, although the subject is under-researched in empirical studies in the field. In this context, this research aims to discuss the institutional environment of tilapia production in Brazil. The institutional environment indexes were estimated using fuzzy modeling from three perspectives (Economic, Social, and Local). The data was collected in a region with a high capacity to lead value chain internationalization. The results indicate that spatial specialization may be a factor leading to a higher offer of credit to production units. However, access to this credit for units located in the production zone may be more difficult due to the requirements of the environmental and operational laws in that area. In this context, we argue that the main bottlenecks of the chain (credit and legal compliance) may create a harmful feedback effect, especially for small farmers. Additionally, we point out the necessity of more efficient communication in terms of the socioeconomic and environmental benefits of the chain. Finally, we highlight the importance of strengthening the institutional framework and social capital for small producers as crucial factors to overcome bottlenecks and ensure sustainability in the Brazilian tilapia value chain.
