Through a historical description of the changes in agriculture the study focuses on the rapid development of the fruit sector, which constitutes an example of the externalization of primary activities and changes in the national food system, showing the alterations in the everyday lives of the workers involved. It also analyzes the perspectives of this group, in the context of the transformations that have had an impact on social organization, collective memory, social identity, and the aspirations and possibility of collective actions
