Agribusiness is a complex activity. This economic activity demands knowledge of all areas of Law: either from the labor area, due to the peculiarities of hiring rural workers under permanent contracts or during the harvest; or in the area of intellectual property related to genetically modified seed rights and new cultivars; or from the tax area, due to the variety of State’ legislations that agricultural products and its exports are taxed; or in the area of international contracts, both in the purchase and sale of agricultural products and in the contracting of maritime freight and insurance. And we cannot fail to mention the traditional demands of the sector such as agrarian contracts, barter contracts, also issuance of agribusiness credit bonds and operations structured to finance productive activity.
