Description
Summary:In this historical sketch of the agricultural development in Argentina there are found -in relation to the political-institutional framework- three periods: the "Hispánico", the "Las Provincias del Río de la Plata" and the "Organización Nacional, en adelante", noting the main features of each. There are also two colonizing "waves", the "Spanish colonization", founder of the former provincial capitals of Argentina, where begins the significance of the agriculture as is in the present territory of Argentina. The "second colonization" -in the last period- is the concrete foundation of agricultural colonies, giving rise to most of the existing cities and towns in the provinces of Santa Fe, Entre Rios, Cordoba and Buenos Aires, to a much lesser extent; protagonist of the great agricultural development of the country. The farmer in this latter period was a businessman who carried out since its inception almost entirely commercial agriculture, a feature that was deepened with time, that is, the producer purchased inputs in the market and produced for the market.
