Current problems of Argentine Agrobusiness

Seventh IADE Debate Conference - Open Professorship of Agrarian Studies "Agr. Horacio Giberti"

Abstract

At the conference, the main problems of the process of expansion of the social models of agrarian capitalism and concentration of production in Argentina are laid out, as well as a search to identify the decisions which impact these process and their relationship with the multiplicity of agents that participate in said process. Initially, a revision of current macroeconomic policies is set out, to afterwards continue with the analysis of agrarian policy, where reduction or elimination of export taxes constitutes its most visible expression, but where other sectorial measures might redefine the differential fate of the agents of the sector.
Finally, in what is  also already a tradition at the Professorship, the situation of the most vulnerable agents of the agrarian sector is addressed: family production, the situation of aboriginal peoples and the issues of these agents in relation to their rights to land, water and financing.
