El trabajo se desarrolla de la siguiente manera: en la sección inicial se pasa revista a la conformación y estructura de las cadenas de valor de la maquinaria agrícola, para, en la sección siguiente, poder pasar revista a cómo se estructura dicha cadena de valor en la Argentina. La siguiente sección, (capítulo III) estudia las dimensiones económicas del mercado argentino, complementado con la revisión sobre la evolución reciente de la producción y segmentos de mercado (capítulo IV), y el estado de ocupación de mano de obra que ofrece el sector (capítulo V).

El segundo objetivo de este volumen tiene como objetivo cuantificar ⎯valor de producción, valor agregado, empleo y localización⎯ las actividades desarrolladas por una treintena de cadena de valor que cubren la casi totalidad del sector, abarcando los principales insumos, la actividad primaria y la primera etapa de transformación industrial
