We present the results from our research undertaken in the context of agricultural sciences in Chile, for a period stretching between 1989 until 2016, during which 5.873 scientific articles related to this scientific area were analyzed. For this research, bibliometric indicators of scientific activity were used to analyze the evolution of articles written for Chilean agrarian science, scientific collaboration, assessing which disciplines have received most attention and their overall level in terms of leadership. A sustained increase in scientific article output was observed to have taken place during the study period, combined with thematic concentration in the disciplines of veterinary sciences, fisheries and agronomy, and recent changes have also occurred in terms of how scientific collaboration is articulated, with more international participation, especially on the part of the United States.
