Abstract

MORENO, Manuela. Social subjects in plains agribusiness: A case study in Pehuajó (Buenos Aires province, Argentina). Trab. soc. [online]. 2014, n.22, pp.15-36. ISSN 1514-6871.

The Argentine agricultural sector has experienced deep transformations in the last decades. Though controversies exist with respect to which changes result from new processes or from long-standing trends in the sector, what is evident is that at present there exists a complex reality which needs to be rethought. In this connection, the question for the social actors that integrate the sector is of special relevancy, since it allows us to explore the structural processes at the local level and to identify the answers of the social agents. Given these considerations, the objective of this article is to analyze, using a case study from a party of the province of Buenos Aires, who are the actors involved in the current agricultural sector, taking into account both the paths and its current situation - in relation with the production - and aspects linked to the ways of conceptualizing the sector, the form in which they perceive both current agribusiness and their place in it.

Keywords : Plains agribusiness; Productive sphere; Agrarian actors; Characterization.
