Competitiveness in the avocado producer organizations in sucre, Colombia

Abstract

This work evaluates the competitiveness among the avocado peasant producer organizations in the villages of Ovejas, Colosó and Chalán, in the Colombian province of Sucre, under the organizational competitive analysis. The objective was accomplished based on a correlational descriptive study –which is both a quantitative methodology and an analytical inductive method– with a questionnaire applied to the four studied organizations as the source of information. The results indicate that the studied avocado-producing organizations in the Sucre province have low competitiveness levels, which makes them impossible to tap into the international market.
