VERA, Jorge Andrés  and  FERREYRA**, Martín Alejandro. Alfalfa cycle stagnation at Alto Valle in Río Negro. Spatial configuration and production tendencies from a regulatory vision. Trab. soc. [online]. 2019, n.32, pp.157-176. ISSN 1514-6871.

The current paper presents an analysis of the alfalfa production cycle that has fostered the origin of fruit growing at Alto Valle in Río Negro and Neuquén. To such end, firstly the alfalfa production cycle will be described with a focus on the late 1930´s, when such crop went stagnant and -consequently- gave way to the emergence of fruit growing in the region. The relative crisis of the alfalfa production cycle might be taken as a tendency to marginalize the activity, by creating economic and social habits that might have deteriorated development possibilities in the region. At this point we will study the impact of institutional ways on the capital accumulation dynamics, whose regularities have mostly been passed on from one circuit to another by highlighting the degree of concentration at the different stages of the production circuit and tendencies of the trading objective.

Keywords : Río Negro - alfalfa production - regulationism - production cycle.
