Abstract

Se analizan los cambios y tendencias en la distribución comercial, considerando tanto los factores del entorno europeo como la propia realidad nacional. Cada una de las etapas de la distribución (desde la producción al consumo final, pasando por mayoristas y minoristas) es estudiada para poner de manifiesto cómo está evolucionando la organización de la distribución hortofrutícola. Se proporcionan datos que ponen de manifiesto los diversos fenómenos que caracterizan al sector y que están alterando las tradicionales estructuras empresariales, resaltando la concentración e integración empresarial. Los autores ponen de manifiesto la nueva organización del canal de comercialización hacia canales más cortos en los que los tradicionales mayoristas se enfrentan a un futuro difícil. Finalmente, los autores señalan retos y oportunidades que van a tener un impacto estratégico sobre la organización de la distribución agroalimentaria, entre otros: la necesidad de coordinación vertical, la incorporación masiva de las tecnologías de la información y la incorporación de la filosofía de respuesta eficiente al consumidor......Present work is concerning with the competitiveness analysis of spanish fruit and vegetable sector.
