Abstract: The aim of this paper is to analyze the role of interprofessional organizations (IPO) in the processes of agricultural innovation. IPO shave been recently created in Argentina and they are characterized by vertically integrating members of an agri-food chain. Also, they have a particular technological vocation. Following a comparative approach we show that these actors take different roles depending on the conditions that characterize the chain. The theoretical framework combines institutionalist approaches on the ways of coordinating innovation processes with critical approaches that allow to show the global and territorial logics that condition the innovation process. Three cases are analyzed: ACSOJA (IPO of soybeans chain), ASAGIR (IPO of sunflower chain) and PROARROZ (IPO of rice chain). We use institutional documents and personally conducted interviews with actors as sources of information.
