Retos de la ingeniería para el desarrollo tecnológico de la agroindustria

Abstract

Agroindustry in emerging economies should be a strategic priority to promote competitiveness. Aware of this, over the last 5 years, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development have taken the “Prospective Agendas for Research and Technological Development” to productive chains. This initiative, through the implementation of an Intelligence System, idenrified the technological demands that when analyzed allowed engineers to recognize a set of challenges focused on strengthening the agricultural industry, which must be dealt with by academic actors involved in technological development.
