Abstract

The prevailing situation in Latin America in terms of the production of primary goods places us in advantageous conditions in the face of international demand for products recognized as "commodities", among which foodstuffs are the most in demand If Latin American countries were to take advantage of this international situation, This could become a trigger of economic growth for our economies and, if well distributed, of greater benefit for a large social layer of the groups that have traditionally produced this type of goods and that had been left behind economically.
