De la sustitución a la exportación. El sector pesquero argentino entre 1930 y 1965
Journal Title: Revista de Estudios Marítimos y Sociales - Year 2008, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Customs and exchange measures initiated with the dictatorship of J. F. Uriburu (1930-1932) originated niches in a demand that could be satisfed by the “Argentine version” of traditionally imported products. Among them are the ones elaborated with fshing derivatives (dry, salty and canned) that were replacing imported canned fsh. The demand of vitamins A and D generated by the Second World War reoriented the activity towards the fshing of the “vitamin shark”, and impelled the coast fshermen to increase the productive forces. By the time the Second World War was over and the vitamins were synthesized, the fsh- canning industry reinitiated its development within and outside the inner market. Finally, the fshing crisis of the North Atlantic Ocean created a huge demand of demersal sea species that put the local hake industry in the international orbit of fresh and frozen fsh commerce. Although these instances called the attention of the government, the exporting potential of the fshing was translated in fnancial, tax and credit policies. We analyzed this process from the offcial statistics of production and foreign trade in order to follow the evolution of the fshing industry in Mar del Plata, which was the main National Fishing Terminal affected by these stimuli.
