| Sumario: | Our main objective is to analyze the configuration of the agrarian territories of agribusiness in Uruguay for the sectors of forestry, cereal agriculture and cattle farming, from an agrarian geography perspective. For this we carry out a deep characterization of the phases of capital, production and circulation of each of the sectors. The procedures used were, bibliographic analysis, collection and systematization of agrarian data, and production of thematic cartography at country level. The data sources were mainly several dependencies of the Ministry of Livestock Agriculture and Fisheries (MGAP). This allowed us to identify in the agrarian space of Uruguay the main processes of territorialization of agribusiness, demonstrating, on the one hand, that there is a clear spatial concentration of the sectors analyzed, and on the other hand, a tendency in the centralization of production both in the productive phase as a circulatory of capital, characterized by the dominance of transnational capitals, reconfiguring the historical territorialization processes of the Uruguayan agrarian space. |
