Soya in Argentina in the early XXI century: the agricultural system and the competition for productive soil exploitation
Abstract
In the early XXI century, the soya has adopted a central role in Argentina’s economy. The context of high international prices, the new macroeconomic framework and the adoption of a new technology block have promoted crop planting in 15 of the 24 provinces. During the 2013-2014 campaign, the culture reached 20 million hectares planted, which involved two thirds of the total area planted in Argentina. These figures show the economic, territorial, political and social relevance that the oleaginous has acquired in the traditional Pampas and also in extrapampeanas areas. This article reviews which have been the results by competition for productive soil exploitation and explores the mechanisms by which the soybean acreage has been expanded.
