Abstract

Because of Uruguay’s almost complete reliance on the agricultural sector for its supply of exports and raw materials for export industries the growth performance of the sector has great importance as a determinant of the long-run performance of the economy as a whole. It is still more significant because the argument made in Chapter 1, that a characteristic of the social system throughout this century has been the autonomy of the political system relative to the dominant class, might be taken to explain the way in which the rural sector has developed. Bluntly, responsibility for the weak performance of agriculture might be laid at the door of the batllistas and their political heirs. In this chapter the structure and growth record of the sector are examined in some detail leaving to Chapter 4 analysis of possible explanations of the sector’s problems and performance.
