Agribusiness and large-scale farming: capitalist globalisation in Argentine agriculture

Year: 2014

Type: article

Abstract: In the past two decades, Argentina registered a strong growth of agricultural production, driven by major productive, economic and institutional changes, which led to concentration processes. This increased role of capital in agricultural production cannot be understood merely in terms of the expansion of farms' scales; its examination needs to consider the different forms of control of productive resources, accumulation and the organisation of production or the origin of capitals as well. In this paper, we address these issues, looking into the diversity that characterises capitalist concentration.
