Abstract
SOSA VARROTTI, Andrea Patricia and FREDERICO, Samuel. Las estrategias empresariales del agronegocio en la era de la financiarización. El caso de El Tejar. Mundo agrar. [online]. 2018, vol.19, n.41, pp.86.e1-86.e2. ISSN 1515-5994. http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/10.24215/15155994e086.
In this article, we analyze a central aspect of Mercosur’s agriculture financialization: the entrance of risk capital in this economic sector. Among the main actors in this process, we can find private equity firms and the agribusiness mega-companies on which they invest. Using a qualitative-quantitative approach, we analyze one of the most accomplished examples of relationship between both types of companies thought a case study, the mega-company El Tejar –of Argentinean origin–, and its effects in terms of land and production grabbing in Argentina and Brazil.
