Abstract

I explore production configuration across Negro river Middle Valley in northern Patagonia, Argentina. The documentary and historical sources are supplemented by field interviews taken from 2011 to 2013 and a household survey in 2011. The Middle Valley is close to the Upper Valley of the river, where pome fruit for fresh consumption export is produced since the mid 1960’s. I compare population settlement and production history processes and I discuss similarities and differences of each valley by geographic, climatic, historical, social and political conditions, especially those prevailing at each time of production consolidation.
