Abstract

El presente artículo tiene como objetivo presentar resultados de la investigación “Análisis de la cadena productiva del aguacate en los Montes de María”, donde se identificaron algunas limitaciones de los productores con relación al cultivo, su sistema de producción y comercialización, manejo tecnológico, sanitario y fitosanitario del mismo. Esta investigación fue cualitativa y descriptiva; la información se tomó de grupos focales, observación directa y revisión en fuentes secundarias. El resultado más relevante fue el bajo nivel de competitividad de la cadena, dado su comportamiento de manera tradicional sin conocimiento tecnológico e innovación, caracterizándose por tener canales muy largos de distribución. El artículo concluye con propuestas estratégicas que posibiliten mejorar la competitividad de la cadena. ******* This article aims at presenting results of the "Analysis of the productive chain of avocado in the Montes de Maria" research, where some producers’ limitations were identified in relation with the cultivation, production and commercialization systems, and the technological, sanitary and phytosanitary management. This research was qualitative and descriptive; the information was taken from focus groups, direct observation, and review of secondary sources. The most significant result was the low level of competitiveness of the chain due to its traditional behavior without technological and innovation knowledge, characterized by very long distribution channels. The article concludes with strategic proposals that enable improving the competitiveness of the chain.
