Government Intervention and Wine Agribusiness: The Case of the Wine Regulatory Board

As has been widely studied, since the beginning of modern winemaking, around 1870, the government was active in promoting and supporting the wine sector.

In this regard, the creation of the Regulatory Board Wine (1935-1943) was much more than a temporary measure trying to mitigate the problems of the market. This paper presentsa comprehensive overview of government action in this field, comparing the various initiatives that appeared in the 1930 decade in the context of one of the most important crisis exhibited by the industry.

The paper explores the possible motives, both political and economic, behind the creation of the Regulatory Board and its ongoing functions.

Como ha sido ampliamente estudiado, desde el comienzo de la vitivinicultura moderna, aproximadamente en 1870, el Estado fue activo en el fomento y sostenimiento del sector. Sin embargo, su participación fue determinante en algunos momentos de su historia. En este sentido, la creación de la Junta Reguladora de Vinos (1935-1943) fue mucho más que una medida coyuntural que pretendía mitigar los problemas de mercado. Este trabajo presenta un panorama comprensivo de la acción del Estado en la materia, comparando las distintas iniciativas que se dieron en la década de 1930 en el marco de una de las crisis más importantes de la agroindustria y que definieron, en gran medida, la estructura de la vitivinicultura hasta finales del siglo pasado. En particular, en el trabajo se exploran las posibles razones políticas y económicas que dieron origen a la Junta Reguladora de Vinos y a su funcionamiento posterior. A partir del análisis de las fuentes existentes, se plantea la necesidad de ampliar la visión tradicional sobre el papel que cumplió la Junta como un acuerdo económico que favoreció a los bodegueros más grandes, entendiéndolo, también, como una forma de negociación política al interior de la elite gobernante. application/pdf https://ojs.economicas.uba.ar/H-ind/article/view/873 spa Centro de Estudios de Historia Económica Argentina y Latinoamericana (CEHEAL) https://ojs.economicas.uba.ar/H-ind/article/view/873/1492 H-industria.
