Propuesta de organización de las producciones agrícolas ecuatorianas con destino a Alemania, caso cacao ecuatoriano.

Abstract

The present study focus in the exports of Ecuadorian cocoa, more precisely from the province of Santo Domingo de los Tsáchilas, who are unaware of the economic and productive benefits that exist when a direct export is made to international markets, without need for third parties or intermediaries. This is why the objective of this work was to design an organization proposal for producers in the province of Santo Domingo de los Tsáchilas to reduce the divergence between national and international markets. To fulfill this objective, a methodology based on the design of interviews was carried out, where it was possible to interview a cocoa exporter and two cocoa producers belonging to the province of Santo Domingo de los Tsáchilas. Among the main results, it was obtained that the producers are unaware of programs or government support for the development of their productive activities, however, they agree that the majority of Ecuadorian soils are quite suitable for sowing and harvesting cocoa, which makes this industry a potential profitable business. The foundation of the proposal lies in article 306 of the National Constitution of Ecuador approved in 2008 by the National Assembly, said article indicates that the State must provide and promote exports to the artisanal sector, with preference to those that generate greater value. aggregate and in particular to small and medium producers of the artisan sector.
