Notes
Lopez María, in a study of syndicalism in the sugar sector in the 1956–1962 period, provides data for the Casa Grande enterprise (Gildemeister company) which show the connection between the installation of a fully-mechanized system of production in 1959, and a subsequent reduction of the work force — Lopez María (1972) Sindicalismo Azucarero durante el Período 1956–1962, Tesis, Universidad Católica del Perú, Lima, p. 44 quoted in Mármora (1975, p. 41). For cotton production, Faron (1967, pp. 254–5), in his study of the Chancay valley, also draws our attention to the displacement of labour through increased mechanization.
