Abstract

The small milk producer lacks technical tools that allow him to establish a clear context of the performance of his productive activity. Faced with this problem, in this integrative project we study the factors that establish the operation of the raw milk production chain in the province of Cañar. To this end, a study is carried out with a sample of 123 milk producers in the communities of Babarcote, Caguanapamba, Charon Ventanas, Quilloac and Sisid belonging to the Cantons: Biblián, Cañar and El Tambo for the period 2023; through the methodology developed by the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ), value links14, and the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) for the analysis of the milk production chain in these communities. With respect to the above, it was possible to determine a production cost of $0.33 cents per liter of milk in the communities; on the other hand, it was possible to establish that the factors that determine the functioning of the milk production chain, in terms of social child: the organizational capacity of the communities and the low generational change; In terms of finance, they are: the low capacity to record daily financial activities and the family workforce, which is largely made up of women, and in terms of economics, they are: the strong dispersion of producers, fostering opportunistic attitudes of economic actors. . and a shaky commercial and productive network.
