About This Book

The text offers a systematic economic and geographic survey of Argentina, detailing climate, soils, rivers and principal ports, and the expansion and effects of railways. It examines immigration and colonization policies, land tenure and the structure of large estates, and agricultural production and yields for cereals, fodder and livestock. It assesses land values, export prospects for wheat and meat, and a range of agro-industries — sugar, viticulture, tobacco, cotton, rubber and fruit — while discussing transport constraints, technological aids such as refrigeration, and policy measures to promote subdivision, settlement and market organisation.
