BALCAZAR, Álvaro. COLOMBIAN AGRICULTURAL TRANSFORMATION DURING 1990-2002. Rev.econ.inst. [online]. 2003, vol.5, n.9, pp.128-145. ISSN 0124-5996.

The Colombian agrarian sector suffered a significant transformation of its structure of production during the nineties. A whole range of crops and productive activities that were supported in previous decades by commercial protection policies and different types of subsidies collapsed, while some permanent and other labor intensive crops (fruits and vegetables) and live stock breeding were able to grow. These changes in the structure of production have important redistributive implications not only between classes of producers but also between producers and consumers.

Palabras clave : Colombian agriculture; structure of production; agrarian policy; rentability; redistribution.
