Counting llamas in Northwest Argentina: an approach through the National Agricultural Census (1888-2018)

In this work we analyse the National Agricultural Census for the period 1888-2018 to evaluate the llama’s representation in Northwest Argentina, related to the cattle introduced after the Spanish conquest (bovine, ovine, goat, equine, porcine, donkey/mule). Throughout the studied period there is a l...

description In this work we analyse the National Agricultural Census for the period 1888-2018 to evaluate the llama’s representation in Northwest Argentina, related to the cattle introduced after the Spanish conquest (bovine, ovine, goat, equine, porcine, donkey/mule). Throughout the studied period there is a low representation of the llama as well as its concentration in the highlands of Jujuy, Salta and Catamarca. This points towards a continuity of what was observed in the colonial period: a preference for Eurasian cattle and a tendency to replace the resources that autochthonous cattle offer. At the same time, a constant increase in llama heads is observed over the years, with a higher growth since 1988. This occurs simultaneously with a marked and progressive decrease in the heads of the rest of the cattle since 1930. Several combined processes can explain this phenomenon: the economic and animal husbandry peripherization suffered by the Northwet Argentina since the beginning of the 20th century, the persistence of family-scale and selfsubsistence herding, the progressive destructuring of pastoral families, the development of the rural and gastronomic tourism in the last decades and the increased visibility of indigenous communities and the revaluation of their practices.
