During the last years, the flow of global capitals found an attractive investment in the Latino American agrarian space. This modified the agrarian structure of many of these countries through the agribusiness model. The present article describes and analyzes the way this model has expanded in Latin America, and in particular, its different phases in Uruguay. Finally, it points out that the central elements of the agribusiness model expansion are the following: the role of the United States, the foreign direct investment increase, the nation State function, and the transnational capital control in the territory.
