Reconfiguración del sector agroalimentario venezolano en el contexto de la globalización

the thesis proposed in this article is that the paradigms and approaches hitherto used to analyze the configuration and functioning of the venezuelan agro-food sector (vas) are no longer altogether satisfactory. the transformations leading to a notable concentration and internationalization of the firms involved in the distribution of food have undermined the foundations of existing interpretations. the author criticizes current interpretations and proposes an alternative theoretical and methodological analysis that permits a more appropriate interpretation of the recent transformations that have occurred in the vas.
