Abstract

Craviotti C. Producer relationships and local development in fresh fruit commodity chains: an analysis of blueberry production in Entre R�os, Argentina, Regional Studies . In current regional perspectives intangible capitals are considered critical assets of regional economies. The aim of this article is to analyse the role of networks in the development of blueberry production in the province of Entre R�os, nowadays the most important productive area of Argentina. It argues that although horizontal networks (either private or public--private) were not particularly important for the emergence of blueberry production in the area, they are needed in a situation where a redefinition of the agri-food chain is at stake. Coordination and cooperation networks could help to sustain the continuity of production at the local level and to make local small-scale producers viable in a global context.

Les rapports des producteurs et le d�veloppement local dans les chaînes de fruits frais: une analyse de la production de myrtilles dans l'Entre R�os, en Argentine, Argentina, Regional Studies . Dans une optique r�gionale actuelle, les capitaux intangibles sont consid�r�s des actifs essentielles des �conomies r�gionales. Cet article cherche à analyser le rôle des r�seaux dans le d�veloppement de la production de myrtilles dans le province d'Entre R�os, actuellement la zone de production la plus importante en Argentine. On affirme que les r�seaux horizontaux (à la fois priv�s ou publics-priv�s) sont n�cessaires dans des situations où une red�finition de la chaîne agroalimentaire est en jeu, bien qu'ils ne soient pas particulièrement importants quant à la naissance de la production de myrtilles dans la zone. Des r�seaux de coordination et de coop�ration pourraient aider la p�rennit� de la production au niveau local et rendre viables les producteurs à petite �chelle sur le plan mondial.

Produzentenbeziehungen und lokale Entwicklung in Frischobst-Warenketten: eine Analyse der Heidelbeerproduktion in Entre R�os, Argentinien, Regional Studies . Unter den derzeitigen regionalen Perspektiven gelten immaterielle Vermögenswerte als wichtiges Kapital von regionalen Wirtschaften. In diesem Artikel wird die Rolle von Netzwerken bei der Entwicklung der Heidelbeerproduktion in der Provinz Entre R�os untersucht, dem heute wichtigsten Produktionsgebiet Argentiniens. Es wird argumentiert, dass horizontale (private oder öffentlich-private) Netzwerke für das Entstehen der Heidelbeerproduktion in dieser Region zwar keine besondere Rolle spielten, aber in einer Situation benötigt werden, in der eine Neudefinition der landwirtschaftlichen Lebensmittellieferkette auf dem Spiel steht. Netzwerke zur Koordination und Kooperation könnten dazu beitragen, die Kontinuität der Produktion auf lokaler Ebene aufrechtzuerhalten und lokale Kleinproduzenten auf globaler Ebene wettbewerbsfähig zu machen. Lokale Entwicklungsprozesse Globale Warenketten Frischobstexporte Produktion außerhalb des Saison Craviotti C. V�ncolos entre productores y desarrollo local en las cadenas globales de frutas frescas: un análisis de la producción de arándano en Entre R�os, Argentina, Regional Studies . En las perspectivas contemporáneas de la ciencia regional, los capitales intangibles son considerados activos cr�ticos de las econom�as locales. El propósito de este art�culo es analizar el rol de las redes en el desarrollo de la producción de arándano en la provincia de Entre R�os, actualmente el área productiva más importante de Argentina. Se argumenta que si bien las redes de tipo horizontal (tanto privadas como público-privadas) no fueron especialmente relevantes para el surgimiento de esta producción en el área, son requeridas en una situación en la que está en juego la redefinición de la cadena agroalimentaria. Las redes de cooperación y coordinación pueden contribuir a sostener la continuidad de esta producción a nivel local y la viabilidad de los productores en pequeña escala en el contexto global.
