MOYANO, Daniel. The sugar proceeds from the land: The role of state agencies in modernizing of Tucuman sugarcane agriculture (1880-1910). Mundo agrar. [online]. 2014, vol.15, n.29. ISSN 1515-5994.

We propose to analyze the role played by state agencies in the sugar cane modernization process of Tucuman. We will focus on the work of the National Department of Agriculture (since 1898, Ministry of Agriculture) and the actions of the provincial government offices in the creation of educational and experimental institutions for agro-industrial development. As a complement, we'll study the interaction between the state and the private agencies (sugarcane farmers, industrials and scientific staff involved in this activity) under the proposed reforms to incorporate 'scientific' agriculture in Tucuman´s rural areas.
