| その他の書誌記述: | This paper examines the development of oil palm breeding by United Fruit Company during 1900-2005 and the power structures that made this development feasible. Initially the company collected palms from Africa and Asia through a complex web of impe-rial botanic gardens and through the assistance of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. During the second half of the century it also collected American palmas (E. oleifera) from which it developed a compact palm program, an plants resistant to lethal spear rot. This brings to bearing the possibility of the participation of the regional states in the profits of the genetic transactions. Finally, it examines the industries that have appeared related to the palm oil business. It states that the organization of such ventures in a cluster model could boost the economy of the costarican South Pacific. |
