Abstract	Evolution and determinants of agriculture's contribution to GDP of the South American countries from 1960 to 2014. The purpose of this study is to analyze the evolution of agriculture in the countries of South America (Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Paraguay, Peru, Suriname, Uruguay and Venezuela) after the 1960s until 2014, focusing on the years from 1990. We pursue to evaluate through econometric models the determinants of agriculture's contribution to economic growth in these countries from 1990 until 2014. It was analyzed the comparative advantages of the South American countries, considering the land resources and geological formation of the countries. The availability of the resources capital and labor, other factors of production in addition to the land, were also included in the analysis of the evolution of the agricultural sector in the countries mentioned above. Another topic of this research is the agricultural production, agricultural and livestock trade balance in these countries, relevant macroeconomic variables that measure the performance of agricultural activity. Another point of the study is the comparison between the participation of mining and oil income in the GDP of the South American countries with the participation of agriculture and livestock in this GDP, paying special attention to the analysis of these participations in the first decade of the 2000s. This analysis proves that Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay (considered as the first group) are inclined to the agricultural sector, although the first two countries mentioned in this group present a significant participation of mining and oil in the income Countries. On the other hand, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Peru, Suriname and Venezuela showed an increase in the share of mining and / or petroleum sectors in their GDPs after the After the crisis of 2008. Finally, the developed econometric regressions show that the share of agriculture in GDP of South American countries (except Guyana, Suriname and Venezuela) depends on positively the relationship between agricultural prices and non-agricultural prices and the actual productivity of these sectors. There are indications of that this relationship depends inversely on the productivity of the industrial sector and positively on the productivity of the agricultural sector. keywords: Agricultural importance; GDP; Economic growth; South America; comparative advantages
