BRAVO, María Celia  and  BUSTELO, Julieta. Small sugar planters farms in Tucuman between the Laudo Alvear and the first Peronism sugar policy. Av. Cesor [online]. 2016, vol.13, n.14, pp.63-88. ISSN 1514-3899.

Since its inception, the Tucuman sugar industry was characterized by an important role of sugar planters who sold their raw materials to the mills. Relations between cane workers and industrialists were conflictive due to the disagreements over the price of sugar cane which determined the distribution of income. The Laudo Alvear of 1928 was the first regulation that tried to normalize relations between these two sectors. This paper aims to analyze the evolution of sugar cane agricultural structure. We analyze the period from the application of the Laudo Alvear to the first Peronism. We are interested in examining the effects of the sugar cane regulations on agricultural structure. In order to achieve this objective we analyze statistical information available (censuses of cane workers of 1929, 1937 and 1945; the agricultural censuses of 1947 and 1960) and the sugar policy developed between 1928 and 1955.

Keywords : Sugar cane agricultural structure; Sugar policies; Laudo Alvear; Peronism.
