Distribution and export logistics: Commercial development of the millenary product Chenopodium Quinoa

Abstract

The objective of this article was the commercial development of the millenary product Chenopodium Quinoa from a perspective of distribution and export logistics. Methodologically, it was a documentary research that used content analysis as a strategy for the review of the texts, which were retrieved through the following databases: a) Scopus, b) Scielo, c) Web of Science - WoS and, d) Google Scholar, and selected based on the criteria: (a) original or review scientific articles, (b) published in Spanish or English language, (c) temporal delimitation to the last eight years (2015-2022), (d) citable documents, resulting in a total of fourteen reviewed articles (n=14). The bibliographic analysis allowed discriminating from an analytical point of view the supply chain from the quinoa production source, markets and logistic corridors to its export point. This literature review demonstrated that the creation of a more efficient supply chain (distribution logistics) would be beneficial for all parties involved, as it would expedite the circulation of the product, improve responsiveness to customer needs and encourage creative problem solving in the service of distribution and export, validating it from a documentary and bibliographic perspective.
