“…Finally, the mean rotation expected among participants who planned on managing their plantations as single-aged stands was nine years-an age consistent with log or largediameter firewood production in the region (Lamprecht 1989, Cubbage et al 2010. Historically, the focus of the Paraguayan government's extension programs has been to maximize agricultural yield (Hamilton and Bliss 1998), especially among medium-and large-scale, commercial farmers (Weisskoff 1992).…”

Smallholder eucalyptus (Eucalyptus species) plantation forestry is common among rural farmers in Eastern Paraguay. Yet there has been no systematic study of the silvicultural practices utilized by smallholder plantation owners in the region. In response, I conducted a case study of semi-structured interviews with 45 eucalyptus-owning smallholders. My study characterizes the households that have adopted eucalyptus forestry and the management of these plantations. Silvicultural practices varied among households and, for some parameters, among regions. Improved extension efforts could enable eucalyptus plantation owners in the study population to improve production both for commercial sale and domestic use.Key words: plantations, smallholder forestry, exotic forestry, eucalyptus, silviculture RÉSUMÉ La foresterie propre aux plantations d' eucalyptus (Eucalyptus sp.) réalisées par de petits propriétaires est une chose courante parmi les agriculteurs ruraux de l' est du Paraguay. Cependant, il n' existe aucune étude systématique des pratiques sylvicoles utilisées par les petits propriétaires de plantation de la région. En conséquence, j'ai entrepris une étude de cas à partir d' entrevues semi-structurées menées auprès de 45 petits propriétaires de plantation d' eucalyptus. Mon étude établit le portrait des propriétaires qui ont entrepris de cultiver l' eucalyptus et d'aménager ces plantations. Les pratiques sylvicoles variaient entre les propriétaires et, dans le cas de quelques paramètres, entre les régions. Des efforts accrus de diffusion de l'information pourraient permettre aux propriétaires de plantation d' eucalyptus dans la population sous étude d'améliorer leur production tant au niveau de la vente commerciale que de l'utilisation domestique.

“…While in Asia and Africa teak rotations ranged from 40 to 60 years (Bailey and Harjanto, 2005;Cubbage et al, 2010;Pandey and Brown, 2000;Thapa and Gautam, 2005), rotation ages in tropical America were lower, 20-25 years (Bermejo et al, 2004;Cubbage et al, 2010;Henao, 1982;Pérez and Kanninen, 2005;Zanin, 2005). The lower rotation ages for most of the sites could be explained by lower establishment and management costs and higher forest productivity.…”

“…Por eso es que pretenden la diversificación biofísica (clima, suelos), político-institucional (estabilidad democrática) y monetario-financiera (estabilidad económica). Esta estrategia puede ejemplificarse con las empresas transnacionales de la silvicultura, las cuales analizan globalmente las ventajas comparativas de un conjunto de países, entre estos, Argentina, Brasil y Uruguay (Cubbage et al, 2010).…”

Durante las últimas décadas el flujo de capitales globales encontró un atractivo de inversión en América Latina, y a través del modelo del agronegocio ha modificado la estructura agraria de muchos países de la región. El presente artículo describe y analiza la forma en que el agronegocio se ha expandido en Latinoamérica, en particular en sus distintas fases en Uruguay. Se concluye que para ello han sido claves el papel de los Estados Unidos, el aumento de la inversión extranjera directa, el rol de los Estados nación y el control del territorio por parte del capital transnacional.
