Note on the agro-industrial complex and the industrialization of agriculture in Brazil
Abstract
This is a reply to a paper from Geraldo Muller on the intersection of agriculture
and industry in Brazil. Although we agree with Muller that one should not take the agricultural
sector as being marked by backwardness, we disagree with the author on the timeframe
given to the relation between the two sectors as being “recent”.
