Disengagement producers cotton growers Desvinculación productores familiares algodoneros A social research was carried out with the aim of surveying the perception of producers about the reasons why they abandoned cotton cultivation. Family Farming Producers from Pirané, Formosa were the subjects of study from 2010 to 2020. According to the National Forum on Family Farming (2006), there is heterogeneity of productive units in this typology. Therefore, the causes surveyed have different impacts on each one, depending on their specific contexts. As a result of the interviews, cotton cultivation abandonment was multi-causal, usually more than three causes were found. Most of them were interrelated, so that a harmful synergy which impacted on crop continuity was generated. Nine of the causes related to different thematic areas such as: economic, climatic, organizational, social, commercialization and technological were surveyed and analyzed. The conclusions obtained in this study offer a valuable contribution to producers' real lives, as well as the reasons to abandon traditional cotton cultivation. Not only did these findings broaden our understanding of the problem, but also constituted a crucial basis for future research and actions aimed at improving conditions and sustainability in agriculture. Se realizó una investigación social, con el objetivo de relevar la percepción de los productores acerca de las causas por las que abandonaron el cultivo de algodón. Los sujetos de estudio fueron productores de Agricultura Familiar, ubicados en el departamento de Pirané, provincia de Formosa, durante el periodo 2010 al 2020. Según el Foro Nacional de la Agricultura Familiar, en esta tipología existe una heterogeneidad de unidades productivas. Por lo tanto, las causas relevadas incidieron de manera diferente en cada una, dependiendo del contexto específico en el que se manifiestaron. La mayoría de los entrevistados, expresaron que fueron varias las causas de abandono del cultivo de algodón, generalmente más de tres. Muchas se relacionaron entre sí y se generó una sinergia perjudicial, que impactó en la continuidad del cultivo. Se relevaron y analizaron nueve causas relacionadas a diferentes áreas temáticas, como ser: económicas, climáticas, organizativas, sociales, de comercialización y tecnológicas. Las conclusiones obtenidas en este estudio ofrecen un valioso aporte para abordar las realidades con las que conviven los productores, así como los fundamentos que sostuvieron para tomar la decisión de abandonar el tradicional cultivo de algodón. Estos hallazgos no solo amplían nuestro entendimiento de la problemática, sino que también constituyen una base crucial para futuras investigaciones y acciones que busquen mejorar las condiciones y sostenibilidad en la agricultura.
