Abstract
ZAPATA QUIJANO, Oswaldo Juan. La producción de papa en dos municipios del oriente antioqueño: análisis de las relaciones precapitalistas y capitalistas en la agricultura. suma neg. [online]. 2012, vol.3, n.2, pp.53-74. Epub Dec 01, 2012. ISSN 2215-910X.
This paper analyzes the articulation of pre-capitalist and capitalist relations in potato production in the municipalities of El Carmen de Viboral and Union located in the subregion of Eastern Antioquia. Methodology: a qualitative groups case study, following the criterion of heterogeneity in sampling an instrument to apply in-depth interviews. Findings: the discovery of a heterogeneous set of semi-feudal relations in agriculture, ranging from the typical small property to the semiservile peasant form of exploitation called “en compañía” (partnership). Also, pre-capitalist forms of rent were found articulated with commodity production where capitalist profit is obtained. Finally, we discuss the link between productive relations and technical conditions in the production and distribution of potato.
