Abstract
Cargill es una de las empresas transnacionales más importantes del mundo, líder en la comercialización de commodities agropecuarios y productos agroalimentarios de industrialización simple. Con establecimientos en más de sesenta países, también tiene presencia en Argentina.Este trabajo analiza el desempeño de la transnacional Cargill en Argentina. Lo hace desde el marco de las teorías de la dependencia. Intenta así establecer si el desempeño de esta corporación con sede en EEUU tiene una dinámica que, en lo que al ámbito de su actuación respecta, consolida y reproduce la situación periférica y subordinada de la economía Argentina.Argentina se integra en el comercio y producción mundial desde un rol dependiente. Carácter que no solo se explica en factores económicos. También en políticos y culturales. Mismos que han ido estructurando a toda la sociedad para que cumpla la función subalterna que le fue asignada en la división internacional del trabajo. Apuntamos a desentrañar si la actividad de Cargill es un vector más en esta ingeniería de la dependencia.Para esto se estudia la importancia que tiene la actividad agropecuaria y agroindustrial exportadora para el equilibrio de las cuentas nacionales y la generación de divisas en la Argentina. Mensurado esto, nos aproximamos al conglomerado de empresas privadas que encabezan, arbitran y dominan esta actividad. Para comprobar que la cúpula está transnacionalizada.

Cargill is one of the most important transnational enterprises worldwide, a leader in agricultural commodities and the simple industrialization of processed food. It has branches in more than sixty countries, including Argentina.The present study analyzes Cargill’s performance as a transnational corporation in Argentina. The analysis has been conducted through the framework of dependence theories. It aims at establishing whether this North American corporation’s performance has a dynamic that, in terms of scope, consolidates and reproduces Argentina’s peripheral and subordinated economic situation.Argentina situates itself within the global production and market from an undependent role, a position that not only accounts for economic but also political and cultural factors. These same factors have been structuring the entire society with the aim of fulfilling a subordinate function allocated to it in the international division of labor. We aim to determine if Cargill’s activity is an additional vector in this engineering of dependence.For this reason, the importance of agricultural activity and the exportation of processed food as regards to the balancing of national accounts and the creation of foreign currency in Argentina is now under investigation. A survey of this subject brings us closer to the conglomerate of private enterprises that lead, arbitrate and govern this activity, to confirm that the leadership has been transnationalized. In this leadership, Cargill stands as the most important corporation...
