Impacto técnico del Proyecto Alianzas Rurales, mediante el análisis de la función de producción de leche en el municipio de Tiahuanaco
Abstract
La producción lechera es parte de la generación de ingresos económicos familiares, sin embargo, existen riesgos por la variabilidad en temperatura, precipitación, granizada, helada y sequía. Las asociaciones de productores son parte del eslabón de la cadena productiva lechera. El objetivo del trabajo es estimar la función de producción para determinar el impacto técnico del Proyecto Alianzas Rurales, en la asociación de productores Wancollo, considerando tres situaciones que son; antes de la ejecución del proyecto, para los productores que participaron del proyecto y para los productores que no participaron del proyecto durante la ejecución del mismo. El trabajo fue desarrollado en la comunidad de Wancollo, municipio de Tuahuanaco, la recolección de información fue mediante 115 encuestas cuya información consistió en la producción de leche, número de cabezas de ganado, consumo de forraje, consumo de alimento balanceado, mano de obra y número de personas que participan en la producción de leche, estos datos fueron evaluados mediante la aplicación del modelo Coob-Douglas. Se calcularon los valores del PFMe y PFMg a fin de establecer la distribución de las variables en las fases de la función de producción. En las tres situaciones evaluadas, los productores se encuentran utilizando el número de cabezas de ganado en la fase I de producción, donde no se tienen pérdidas y no se maximizan los ingresos económicos de la producción. El consumo de alimento balanceado, mano de obra y número de personas que participan en la producción de leche se encuentran en la fase II, que indica su uso en el óptimo económico. El proyecto tuvo incidencia técnica positiva en la producción debido a que la mano de obra paso de la fase III a la fase II de la función de producción, esto debido a la asistencia técnica grupal e individual que mejoró la eficiencia en el manejo del ganado.
Dairy production is part of the generation of family economic income, nevertheless, there are risks due to the variability in temperature, precipitation, hail, frost and drought. The associations of producers are part of the link in the dairy production chain. The objective of the work is to estimate the production function to determine the technical impact of the Rural Alliances Project, in the Wancollo producers association, considering three situations that are; before the execution of the project, for the producers who participated in the project and for the producers who did not participate in the project during the execution of the project. The work was developed in the community of Wancollo, municipality of Tuahuanaco, the collection of information was through 115 surveys whose information consisted of milk production, number of head of cattle, consumption of forage, consumption of feed, labor and number of people involved in milk production, these data were evaluated by applying the Coob-Douglas model. The values of the PFMe and PFMg were calculated in order to establish the distribution of the variables in the phases of the production function. In the three situations evaluated, the producers are using the number of head of cattle in the production phase I, where there are no losses and the economic income of the production is not maximized. The consumption of balanced feed, labor and number of people involved in milk production are in phase II, which indicates its use in the economic optimum. The project had a positive technical impact on production due to the fact that labor went from phase III to phase II of the production function, due to the group and individual technical assistance that improved efficiency in livestock management.
