This contribution focuses on the territorial relationships established by companies of Argentinian origin that have extended their scope of action to other MERCOSUR countries (mainly Brazil) in the first stages of the soybean chain. Although some features of grain production and particularly of soybean enable a temporary commitment of these firms with local spaces, they develop some kind of foundations as a necessary condition to operate. A relevant side of their forms of territorial embeddedness is the strong selectiveness of local spaces and actors promoted by their behavior. Some local actors are in fact included; in the long term, however, their capacity to capture value is constrained since they are not able to control the terms and conditions of their incorporation
