Abstract

ARIAS CAMPOS, Luis Diego; RETANA CESPEDES, Juan Manuel; TORRES SANDI, Daniel  and  PENA RIVERA, Lidia. The new golden fruits. Production of pineapple and orange in the North Zone, Costa Rica (1974-2015). Rev. Rup. [online]. 2018, vol.8, n.1, pp.93-121. ISSN 2215-2989.  http://dx.doi.org/10.22458/rr.v8i1.1975.

The pineapple and orange development in the North North Zone is analyzed through the construction of the productive apparatus through prosopography and the relational methodology of human rights. The economic model implemented since the 1980s has facilitated the installation of transnational agribusiness companies for exports, with about US$101 million of orange and US$800 million of pineapple in 2015, mainly in the north and accumulated in few elites- People, with great political and economic influences. It implies that this is one of the agro-industrially most productive areas and at the same time one of the most inequitable and poverty-stricken areas. It becomes necessary to face the adverse situations with alternative accompaniments linked to food and labor autonomy.

Keywords : agroindustry; labor exploitation; inequality; despoiling; monoculture.
