OBSERVATIONS ON THE NOTION OF AGROINDUSTRIAL COMPLEX

Abstract

The interrelations between firms/sectors/markets create a new economic space, wich is non-identifiable by the usual concepts. This morphological unity, the so called Industrial Complex applied to Agriculture, is able to represent an "other-space", neither "micro" nor "macro". This way, it has no explaining capacity. When one searches for the relationship between the techniques, the theory and the morphological aspects, it do appear some important questions about the real status of the Industrial Complex concept. This text deals with some observations about this subject.
