Based on an ethnographic fieldwork carried out between 2009 and 2013, this paper deals with the practices that Bolivian workers and intermediaries keep in an informal hiring space, as mechanisms tending to articulate competing interests based on different negotiation modalities. The field work revealed that the conditions of sale of the labor capacity is determined by the "piece price", amount negotiated depending on the state of the plantations and based on certain parameters, such as the quantity and size of the fruits, and extension of the farms. He also remark that the cyclical demand for work gave rise to moments of “high” and “low” in the demand for work, generating differential negotiation skills among the actors involved. The characterization of these processes will explain the construction of a local labor market, which supplies the labor needs of a diversified agriculture, organized by different logics and oriented to different markets, for which it uses a heterogeneous set of workers than relate in specific places and through different types of intermediation.
