A CADEIA DE FRUTAS FRESCAS NO ÂMBITO DAS CONFIGURAÇÕES PRODUTIVAS GLOBAIS¹

Abstract

This paper discusses the fresh fruits chain based on the globalization and the new global productive schemes. From this point of view, it is understandable that the growth of the major companies commanding power affects the distinctive spatial locations of the different productive activities (chain’s stages), and therefore, the producer’s hierarchical position. It leads to a major incitement over the appropriation of the value generated within the productive chain. The conditions of local and international agents become even more differentiated and asymmetric, due to the economic and trading power of the later.
