Abstract

We see that the agricultural sector in Panama has grown slowly in comparison to the rest of the economy and has lost relative importance in the total product over the last decade. However, it covers a significant percentage of the labor force and is the main economic support of thousands of families who are dedicated to agricultural activities. And one of the aspects that requires knowledge is the contracts and the principles that govern them, it is a need for the country to provide agricultural food security as part of the mission and vision of the government and its survival as a State in the event of climate change or another global catastrophe.

The new Panamanian Agrarian Code was created by Law No. 55 of May 23, 2011 and entered into force on December 1, 2011; this replaces the previous code that was created by Law 37 of 1962, this code was in force for forty-nine (49) years.

This article deals with “Agrarian Contracts”, the subject of which will be the object of the article. As an introduction we will look at contracts, but we cannot forget the principles of agrarian law.
