description The department of Alto Paraná (Paraguay), marked by the concentration and foreignization of land, has in peasant farming of Paraguayan origin a numerically expressive social group, which historically faced difficulties in accessing agrifood markets. In view of this, in 1997, the Central of Horticultural Producers Fairs of Alto Paraná, in Ciudad del Este, was created, being an important space for the sale of peasant production in the department. This article seeks to present this market, as well as highlight its relevance in a department with the characteristics of Alto Paraná. In methodological terms, in addition to a literature review and systematization of secondary data, visits were made to the Central, talking to different producers and consumers. Semi-structured interviews were also carried out with three farmers who were directors of the fair, in addition to a visit to two peasant communities that participate in this market. The results show that, over the years, the Central has been growing and serving a large number of farmers and consumers, offering a wide range of agricultural products typical of the department. Despite the challenges that must be overcome, it is an experience that has strengthened the permanence and development of peasant agriculture in Alto Paraná, something vital in a territory hostile to this social group.

El departamento de Alto Paraná (Paraguay), marcado por la concentración y extranjerización de la tierra, tiene en la agricultura campesina de origen paraguaya un grupo social numéricamente expresivo, que históricamente enfrentó dificultades para acceder a los mercados agroalimentarios. Ante ello, en 1997 se creó la Central de Productores Hortigranjeros Feriantes de Alto Paraná, en Ciudad del Este, siendo un importante espacio de comercialización de la producción campesina del departamento. Este artículo busca presentar este mercado, así como resaltar su relevancia en un departamento con las características de Alto Paraná. En términos metodológicos, además de una revisión bibliográfica y sistematización de datos secundarios, se realizaron visitas a la Central, conversando con diferentes productores y consumidores. También se realizaron entrevistas semiestructuradas a tres agricultores dirigentes de la feria, además de una visita a dos comunidades campesinas que participan en este mercado. Los resultados muestran que, a lo largo de los años, la Central ha ido creciendo y pasando a atender a un gran número de agricultores y consumidores, ofreciendo una amplia gama de productos agrícolas propios del departamento. A pesar de los desafíos que hay que superar, es una experiencia que ha potencializado la permanencia y el desarrollo de la agricultura campesina en el Alto Paraná, algo vital en un territorio hostil a este grupo social. O departamento de Alto Paraná (Paraguai), marcado pela concentração e estrangeirização da terra, tem na agricultura camponesa de origem paraguaia um grupo social numericamente expressivo, que historicamente enfrentou dificuldades para acessar aos mercados agroalimentares. Diante disso surge, em 1997, a Central de Produtores Hortigranjeiros Feirantes de Alto Paraná, em Ciudad del Este, sendo um importante espaço de venda da produção camponesa no departamento. Este artigo procura apresentar esse mercado, bem como destacar a sua relevÁ¢ncia em um departamento com as características de Alto Paraná. Em termos metodológicos, além de revisão bibliográfica e sistematização de dados secundários, foram feitas visitas Á  Central, conversando com diferentes produtores e consumidores. Também foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas com três agricultores dirigentes da feira, além da visita Á  duas comunidades camponesas que participam deste mercado. Os resultados apontam que, ao longo dos anos, a Central cresceu e passou a atender um grande número de agricultores e de consumidores, oferecendo uma variada gama de produtos agropecuários oriundos do próprio departamento. Apesar dos desafios que precisam ser superados, é uma experiência que tem potencializado a permanência e o desenvolvimento da agricultura camponesa em Alto Paraná, algo vital em um território pouco amistoso para com esse grupo social. application/pdf text/html https://ojs.economicas.uba.ar/riea/article/view/2858 10.56503/RIEA/Nro.55(2021)/2858 spa Centro Interdisciplinario de Estudios Agrarios.
