Cadena productiva y comercialización de arveja (Pisum sativum L.) del corredor económico en Acobamba, Huancavelica, Perú

Abstract

A production chain is a set of economic agents interrelated by the market from input, production, transformation, marketing and final consumer. This chain includes the pea crop because it is a legume that serves as food either fresh, dry grain or in processed products such as flour and frozen. These experiences were carried out with the NGO Asociación Civil San Javier del Perú, during the years 2005-2006, 2006-2007, and 2007-2008 in the districts of Acobamba, Caja Espíritu, Poma Cocha and Marcas in Huancavelica, Peru, with the objective of to identify the agents that intervene in the productive chain and analyze the components of the productive chain through the project “Strengthening the Productive Chains” (CAPROHA) financed by FONDOEMPLEO (MINAGRI). The methodology proposed by the Ministry of Production was used, which includes: Motivation, Diagnosis, Strategy and Implementation and Evaluation. As a result, the agents that intervene in the green pea production chain from the primary producer to the final consumer were identified and the interest of the producers in developing the activity was observed and they decided to support the formulation of the proposal for the development of the productive chains. However, the components of the production chain were analyzed, producers were trained on the concepts of competitiveness, associativity and emphasis was placed on technology for the efficiency and quality of pea production. It is concluded that the actions developed favored the change of attitude of the producers, they discovered their potentialities, skills and managed to value their experiences, focusing on the articulation of economic activities, value chains and production.
