La cadena de valor de hortalizas: consideraciones para el desarrollo local a partir del productor

Abstract

Abstract The value chain approach, implemented in agricultural production systems, generates an increase in value for production and consequently local economic development, however, this transformation in agriculture implies an interrelation between its actors. In the present study, the value chain (CV) in the producer link was analyzed, this will allow to critically review the producer's scenario and the characteristics of participants in the CV of the agricultural production system, seeking local development, as a consequence of the innovation in the production system and necessary in the recovery process from the producer. The results infer that the source of problems in the functioning of the structure, among others, is the ineffectiveness in the interrelation of the links in the CV, the producer faces a scenario with many weaknesses and threats.
