Abstract The important economic and social role of agroindustrial collective actions does not eliminate the challenges related to the sustained feasibility of these enterprises. This article presents and discusses the main determinants that affect the performance and feasibility of collective agroindustrial projects, assessing the importance of each determinant for establishing the future performance of enterprises. A systematic literature review supported the structuring of the proposed analytical framework, which suggested the use of 24 determinants grouped into five factors. Afterwards, a panel of 20 experts used a multiple-criteria decision-making method, the Simple Multi-Attribute Rating Technique (SMART), to evaluate the relative importance of the determinants proposed by the model. The framework indicates the importance of each determinant on the performance of the collective agroindustrial projects, allowing the user to apply it with a decision-making tool. The proposed model combines and incorporates a wide number of sparse determinants in other works and highlights the factor “management, operation and finance” as a factor of success in making projects feasible.
