description After the great economic crisis of 1929, the saltpeter industry entered a process of internal reorganization to survive commercially and remain the mainstay of the national economy. In this sense, the present work aims to show that the response to this problem was the development of a kind of state monopoly. This started the Compañía de Salitres de Chile (COSACH), as happened in 1873 with the attempt of a National Peruvian saltpeter company that responded to the economic crisis of that decade. We will analyze the differences between one process and the other and explain the origin and decline of COSACH.

Luego de la gran crisis económica de 1929, la industria del salitre entró en un proceso de reorganización interna con tal de sobrevivir comercialmente y mantenerse como el principal sostén de la economía nacional. El presente trabajo tiene como finalidad demostrar que la respuesta a ese problema fue el desarrollo de un intento de estanco con características particulares, dando origen a la Compañía de Salitres de Chile (COSACH), tal como sucedió en 1873 con el intento de estanco salitrero peruano, que fue la respuesta a la crisis económica de esa década. Analizaremos las diferencias entre uno y otro proceso y explicaremos el origen y ocaso de la COSACH.
