Abstract

Globalization directly influences the traditionally used commercial ways and practices, blurring borders and giving two paths to the inhabitants of a territory: They can adaptat themselves and look for better ways to compete, which requires preparation, or simply step aside and remember old good times. Free trade agreements (FTA) aim to reduce or finish tax barriers, allowing a free trade flow. Nevertheless, it is necessary to bring a balance to them, which can be applied only in the case that the parties involved have the resources and the preparation to take the best advantages from this kind of agreements. Under these terms, agricultural industries are sensible to FTA´s. They, then, need to bet prepared and strengthen schemes such as Agricultural Industry Districts, as a factor that can foster this segment by the use of scale economies.
