NEODUALISMO VERSUS HETEROGEIDAD: el caso de la pequena producción agraria em la Argentina by Pedro Tsakoumagkos

“…Así pues, uma imagen alternativa del sector agropecuário argentino es caracterizada por tres rasgos: a) La pequena producción agraria em la Argentina – entendida como unidades familiares conacesso limitado al capital y estimado mediante la categoria censal de pequena explotación agropecuária – tiene uma presencia significatica em el agro del país. b) Las escalas económicas de las unidades familiares em la Argentina tienen uma pluri-insertabilidad em la producción agropecuária porque tienen tres tipos de inserción: unidades familiares capaces de autosostener um proceso de capitalización y modernizarse, unidades familiares com acceso limitado al capital aunque estén em el mercado o se capitalicen y se modernicen em forma parcial; y unidades familiares que aunque estén em el mercado se limitan a repoducir la família y la unidade u aún están em la pobreza. C) Los sujetos de la pequeña producción agraria em la Argentina pueden ser produtores agropecuários exclusivos o desarrollar estratégias caracterizadas por uma pluralidad de posiciones em le proceso de reproducción social a escala familiar. …”
