El plan estratégico Argentina Apícola 2017 y su influencia en el sector apícola de la localidad de Tandil

By means of this paper is to critically analyze the current situation of beekeeping in the town of Tandil (Buenos Aires), from the objectives set out in the Strategic Plan Argentina Beekeeping 2017, approved in 2008, whose goal is aimed at that country from becoming a global market leader of value-added bee products, ensuring sustainable development in economic, environmental and social. At first briefly reviews the national bee scene, in which Argentina is known for being the third largest producer of honey, after China and the U.S., while competing with China for the first world exporter, a situation that contrasts with low domestic consumption. Then describes the strategic objectives that promotes the Plan, including: marketing, production, promotion and added value. Then we analyze the main characteristics of the honey industry in the area chosen, the town of Tandil, where the stage is characterized by a large number of small producers who are mostly engaged in the informal sale of honey for direct consumption but whose demand is low, compared to a small number of collectors, packers and exporters that dominate the international market. In general it is observed that, with few exceptions, the honey is exported in bulk, as a commodity, and its main use molasses to improve lower quality of recipient countries. Meanwhile the honey for local consumption, is usually of inferior quality because they generally are not subject to quality controls required by the circuit of export. To overcome the limitations of beekeeping above, highlights the collaborative efforts of government agencies such as the National Institute of Agricultural Technology (INTA) and the Faculty of Veterinary Science, National University Centre of the Province of Buenos Aires. As a preliminary conclusion, it is argued that the Strategic Plan Argentina Beekeeping is still valid as a tool for development of the sector, and is also essential to encourage the development of competitive products in terms of quality and differentiation, through the development of technology and knowledge sharing to ensure growth and sustainability of beekeeping in the town of Tandil

El nuevo Régimen de Trabajo Agrario : Desajustes y propuestas de adecuación para el sector hortícola del periurbano bonaerense sur

El artículo se propone analizar el grado de ajuste y las formas de adecuación del Nuevo Estatuto del Peón (NEP) en la horticultura del sur del Gran Buenos Aires. Para ello, se identifican las modalidades de trabajo hortícola regional y se realiza un recorrido por las características más importantes del NEP. Esto posibilita indagar en la distancia entre lo normado y la práctica. Con estos insumos se discuten alternativas de adecuación de la ley. Se reflexiona que la legislación laboral y su cumplimiento son una política necesaria pero no suficiente para la problemática de la explotación del trabajador en un sector complejo y particular como es el hortícola.

El sector agropecuario en la región de Los Lagos y el paradigma "Chile potencia alimentaria" : Desafíos para la política agraria nacional

La reestructuración del modelo económico en Chile a mediados de los setenta impactó a todos los sectores productivos y el sector agropecuario no fue una excepción. Se iniciaba así el comienzo de la "Era agroexportadora", que fomentaba aquellas orientaciones productivas con claras ventajas competitivas en los mercados internacionales. El paradigma agrícola chileno se ha caracterizado por funcionar sobre la base de salarios bajos, disponibilidad de mano de obra y tipo de cambio favorable. En 2006, y en este escenario, se ha implementado la política pública denominada "Chile Potencia Alimentaria 2020", que buscar reforzar la fórmula anterior. Esta iniciativa considera estrategias de crecimiento que invisibilizan la estructura bimodal agraria presente en el país. A lo anterior se suma el agravante de que territorios (como la Región de Los Lagos en el sur de Chile) con orientaciones productivas tradicionales (ganaderas específicamente) presentan posiciones manifiestamente vulnerables, especialmente de aquellos grupos de productores que se caracterizan por funcionar con racionalidades distintas de la empresarial.
